Noel Clarke, famous for his role in the science fiction series “Doctor Who,” has been accused of six sexual offenses, including two counts of sexual assault, as stated by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of England and Wales on Wednesday. The 50-year-old British actor and director, known for portraying Mickey Smith on the BBC program from 2005 to 2010, is also facing one exposure charge and three voyeurism charges. Voyeurism refers to the act of observing or recording someone engaging in a private activity without their consent, usually for sexual satisfaction, according to CPS definitions.
The alleged incidents involving Clarke reportedly occurred between 2007 and 2016 and are based on accusations from five women. This development follows a previous expose by The Guardian five years ago, where Clarke was accused by 20 women of sexual harassment, groping, and bullying, specifically on the set of “Doctor Who.” Clarke strongly denied these allegations.
The recent charges were brought forward following an investigation that commenced in September 2025, as reported by The Guardian. Clarke is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on October 21.
Apart from his role in “Doctor Who,” Clarke is recognized for his work in creating and starring in the teen crime drama films “Kidulthood” (2006), “Adulthood” (2008), and “Brotherhood” (2016), which delve into themes of drug abuse, bullying, and violence in London’s streets. He directed “Adulthood” and helmed the direction and production of “Brotherhood.” Clarke’s filmography also includes appearances in “Centurion” (2010), “Fast Girls” (2012), “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013), and the television series “Bulletproof” (2018-2021).
