Noel Clarke, renowned for his portrayal in the science fiction series “Doctor Who,” is facing legal action after England and Wales’ Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) revealed he has been charged with six sexual offenses. The charges include two counts of sexual assault, one charge of exposure, and three charges of voyeurism. Voyeurism, as defined by CPS, involves observing or recording someone engaging in a private act without their consent, often for sexual gratification.
The alleged offenses linked to Clarke reportedly occurred between 2007 and 2016 and are based on accusations made by five women. These charges follow a previous incident five years ago when a Guardian expose disclosed claims of sexual harassment, groping, and bullying made by 20 women against Clarke, specifically on the set of “Doctor Who.” Clarke strongly refuted these allegations at the time.
The recent charges emerged after an investigation that commenced in September 2025, as reported by the Guardian. Clarke is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on October 21 for legal proceedings.
In addition to his role in “Doctor Who,” Clarke is recognized for his work in writing and starring in the teen crime drama films “Kidulthood” (2006), “Adulthood” (2008), and “Brotherhood” (2016), which explore themes of drug abuse, bullying, and violence in London’s streets. He directed “Adulthood” and directed and produced “Brotherhood.” Clarke’s filmography also includes appearances in “Centurion” (2010), “Fast Girls” (2012), “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013), and the television series “Bulletproof” (2018-2021).
