Noel Clarke appears at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on sexual assault charges

The actor, known for roles in Doctor Who and Star Trek Into Darkness, is scheduled to appear before magistrates at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. The court appearance follows a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service to bring six sexual‑offence counts against him.

Background to the charges

The alleged conduct involves two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism and one count of exposure. The offences are said to have taken place in both London and Dorset between 2007 and 2016. Five women have made the allegations, which were investigated by the Metropolitan Police after the inquiry began in September 2025.

Police and prosecution response

Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney told the press that the women connected to the case continue to receive support from specially trained officers. He added that anyone who believes they have been a victim of sexual assault should contact police, and that information will be handled with sensitivity.

Bethan David, deputy chief Crown prosecutor for CPS London, said the service had sufficient evidence to prosecute and that the case was in the public interest. She reminded the public that the defendant is entitled to a fair trial and asked that no reporting or commentary prejudice the proceedings.

Next steps

After the initial appearance, the magistrates will decide whether to remand the case for further hearing or set a date for a trial. The Crown Prosecution Service will continue to work with the Metropolitan Police as the investigation proceeds. Victims can maintain contact with the specialist support team for ongoing assistance.
