Noel Clarke, famous for his role in the science fiction series “Doctor Who,” has been formally accused of six sexual offenses, which include two counts of sexual assault, as per the announcement by England and Wales’ Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) on Wednesday.

The 50-year-old British actor and filmmaker gained prominence for portraying Mickey Smith on the BBC show from 2005 to 2010. Additionally, he is facing one charge of exposure and three charges of voyeurism. In legal terms, voyeurism refers to the act of observing or recording someone engaging in a private activity without their consent, often for personal gratification.

The accusations against Clarke span from 2007 to 2016 and are based on claims made by five women, according to the CPS.

This legal action comes half a decade after a detailed report by The Guardian in 2021 exposed allegations of sexual harassment, groping, and bullying by 20 women against Clarke. The accusations included claims of inappropriate behavior on the set of “Doctor Who,” which the actor strongly refuted.

The recent charges follow 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 trilogy of teen crime dramas: “Kidulthood” (2006), “Adulthood” (2008), and “Brotherhood” (2016), delving into themes of drug abuse, bullying, and violence in London streets. He directed “Adulthood” and both directed and produced “Brotherhood.” His other notable screen appearances include “Centurion” (2010), “Fast Girls” (2012), “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013), and the TV series “Bulletproof” (2018-2021).
