Noel Clarke, recognized for his portrayal in the science fiction series “Doctor Who,” has been formally accused of six sexual offenses, which include two sexual assault charges, as confirmed by England and Wales’ Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on Wednesday. The 50-year-old British actor and filmmaker, who gained fame for his role as Mickey Smith on the BBC show from 2005 to 2010, is also confronted with one count of exposure and three counts of voyeurism. In legal terms, voyeurism involves the act of observing or recording someone engaging in a private activity without their consent, often for personal gratification.
Clarke’s alleged offenses, according to CPS, occurred between 2007 and 2016 and are based on complaints made by five women. This development comes half a decade after a Guardian expose in 2021 detailed accusations of groping, harassment, and bullying made by 20 women against Clarke, some of whom claimed they were subjected to sexual misconduct or inappropriate touching on the set of “Doctor Who” – allegations that Clarke fervently refuted.
As reported by The Guardian, the recent charges stem from an investigation that commenced in September 2025, leading to Clarke being scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on October 21. Apart from his role in “Doctor Who,” Clarke is renowned for his work in creating and starring in the trilogy of teen crime drama films “Kidulthood” (2006), “Adulthood” (2008), and “Brotherhood” (2016), which delved into themes of drug abuse, bullying, and street violence in London. He also directed “Adulthood” and helmed the direction and production of “Brotherhood.” Clarke’s diverse acting credits extend to films like “Centurion” (2010), “Fast Girls” (2012), “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013), and his involvement in the TV series “Bulletproof” (2018-2021).
