Noel Clarke, famous for his role in the science fiction series “Doctor Who,” has been accused of six sexual offenses, including two instances of sexual assault, according to England and Wales’ Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) statement on Wednesday.
The 50-year-old British actor and filmmaker gained prominence by portraying Mickey Smith on the BBC program from 2005 to 2010. He is facing one charge of exposure and three charges of voyeurism. Voyeurism, as defined by the CPS, involves observing or recording someone performing a private act without their consent, usually for sexual satisfaction.
The alleged incidents involving Clarke reportedly occurred between 2007 and 2016 and are based on complaints from five women.
This development comes after a 2016 expose by The Guardian, which detailed claims of sexual harassment, groping, and bullying by 20 women, some of whom alleged inappropriate behavior during the filming of “Doctor Who.” Clarke has denied these allegations.
As per The Guardian, the recent charges stem from an investigation that commenced in September 2025. Clarke is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on October 21.
Apart from his “Doctor Who” role, Clarke is recognized for his work in creating and acting in the teen crime dramas “Kidulthood” (2006), “Adulthood” (2008), and “Brotherhood” (2016), which depicted issues like drug abuse, bullying, and violence in London. He directed “Adulthood” and helmed both directed and produced “Brotherhood.” Clarke’s other notable credits include appearances in “Centurion” (2010), “Fast Girls” (2012), “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013), and the television series “Bulletproof” (2018-2021).
