What Are the Sexual Offence Charges Facing Actor Noel Clarke?
Breaking News: Actor and director Noel Clarke, best known for co-creating and starring in the hit Sky drama Bulletproof as well as his breakout role in Kidulthood, has been charged with six sexual offences following a Metropolitan Police investigation.
The Charges: Two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism, and one count of exposure.
Timeframe & Allegations: The alleged offences took place between 2007 and 2016 and involve five women.
Court Appearance: Clarke, 50, is scheduled to make his first appearance at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 21 October 2026.
CPS Decision: The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) authorised the charges after receiving a file of evidence from detectives.
The CPS confirmed the decision on Wednesday after reviewing evidence gathered by Metropolitan Police detectives.
Addressing the decision, Bethan David, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London, said in a statement quoted by the BBC:
“The Crown Prosecution Service 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.”
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that proceedings are now active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial. It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
Beyond his leading television role in Sky’s Bulletproof, Clarke established himself as a major figure in British film and television, winning a BAFTA Orange Rising Star Award in 2009 following his work on Kidulthood and Adulthood.
ITV dropped drama Viewpoint after the allegations are originally made.
Legal proceedings are officially active, with Clarke due to appear in court next month on 21 October.
