The actor and film-maker Noel Clarke has been charged with six sexual offences, including two counts of sexual assault, after allegations made by five women.
The charges against the former Doctor Who actor also include three counts of voyeurism and one count of exposure.
Announcing the charges, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the alleged offences took place between 2007 and 2016, and involved allegations made by five women.
Clarke is due to appear at Westminster magistrates court on 21 October. The charges were brought after an investigation that began in September 2025.
Det Supt Mike Cagney said: “The women connected to these charges continue to receive support from specially trained officers. We urge anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to contact police. The information you provide will be dealt with in the utmost sensitivity and we have trained investigators on hand to support you.”
Bethan David, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for London, said: “The CPS has decided to prosecute Noel Clarke with two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism and one count of exposure. This follows allegations made by five women in connection to sexual misconduct that took place between 2007 and 2016.
“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to do so. We have worked closely with the Metropolitan police as they have carried out their investigation into the allegations.”
David reminded the public that legal proceedings were active and Clarke had the right to a fair trial. She said: “It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
Clarke, 50, is known for his role in Doctor Who and for writing and starring in Kidulthood, which explored bullying, drug abuse and extreme violence among young people in London.
