AceShowbiz - Noel Clarke has been formally charged with several sexual offenses, Comicbookmovie reports. The charges include two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism, and one count of exposure, involving five women and alleged to have occurred between 2007 and 2016.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the Metropolitan Police in London filed the charges, and Noel Clarke is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on October 21, 2025. Wafb also detailed that the investigation leading to these charges began in September 2025, during which a man in his 40s was arrested. Wafb further notes that more than twelve women testified against Clarke in a related libel lawsuit he lost in 2025, stemming from a 2021 Guardian report that accused him of sexual misconduct and bullying by 20 women on the set of the BBC series Doctor Who. Following that report, several companies severed ties with Clarke, and BAFTA rescinded his Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award.

Noel Clarke is best known for playing Mickey Smith on Doctor Who from 2005 to 2010. In addition to acting, he has worked as a writer and director on films such as Kidulthood, Adulthood, and Brotherhood. His other acting credits include Fast Girls, Bulletproof, Centurion, and Star Trek Into Darkness. AceShowbiz previously covered his exit from his production company and the cancellation of his BBC project following the misconduct allegations.

This development marks a significant escalation in the legal proceedings against Clarke, who has consistently denied the accusations. The formal charges represent a critical step in holding him accountable, while police continue to encourage any additional victims to come forward. The high-profile case also highlights ongoing concerns about misconduct within the entertainment industry and the importance of supporting survivors.
