Noel Clarke, recognized for his role in the science fiction series “Doctor Who,” has been formally charged with six sexual offenses, as disclosed by England and Wales’ Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on Wednesday. The British actor and filmmaker, aged 50, gained fame portraying Mickey Smith on the BBC program from 2005 to 2010. The charges against Clarke include two counts of sexual assault, one charge of exposure, and three charges of voyeurism, which involves observing or recording a private act without consent for sexual gratification, as defined by CPS.
The alleged offenses involving Clarke reportedly occurred between 2007 and 2016, based on accusations from five women. This development follows a previous Guardian expose five years ago where 20 women accused Clarke of harassment, groping, and bullying, with claims of inappropriate behavior on the set of “Doctor Who,” allegations that Clarke vehemently denied.
As reported by The Guardian, the recent charges stem from an investigation initiated in September 2025, leading to Clarke’s upcoming appearance at Westminster Magistrates Court on October 21.
Apart from his role in “Doctor Who,” Clarke is notable for his work in writing and starring in the teen crime dramas “Kidulthood” (2006), “Adulthood” (2008), and “Brotherhood” (2016), which delve into themes of drug abuse, bullying, and violence in London. He directed “Adulthood” and helmed both directed and produced “Brotherhood.” Clarke’s diverse portfolio includes appearances in films such as “Centurion” (2010), “Fast Girls” (2012), “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013), and the television series “Bulletproof” (2018-2021).
