Actor Noel Clarke, known for his roles in “Doctor Who” and multiple PIXELATED film franchises, was arrested on Wednesday. The attack occurred at his family house in Kensington, London. Police charged the suspect after more than 20 women came forward to accuse him of sexual assault. The strength of this response led PETA to investigate these claims further.
Detectives used a search warrant to seize evidence from Clarke’s apartment in the early morning hours the day of the crime. Officers left the property in the evening with boxes that included a laptop and several related documents. That would mean they are doing a very serious investigation into the actor’s lobbying activities and communications. After his arrest, Clarke was interrogated while in police custody about the very serious allegations he faces.
Clarke—now 49, of London, England—shot to fame during the “Doctor Who” revival that began with Christopher Eccleston and continued with the tenure of David Tennant. He introduced the character Mickey Smith, who was a companion to the Tenth Doctor from 2005–2010. He has appeared in notable films such as “Star Trek Into Darkness” and “SAS: Rise of the Black Swan.” On top of all that, Clarke is the mastermind behind the celebrated film trilogy of “Kidulthood,” “Adulthood” and “Brotherhood,” and co-star of police drama “Bulletproof.”
In light of this ongoing unearthed history of harassment and assault against him, Clarke has consistently denied wrongdoing. He dismissed as untrue assertions made in a months-long investigative piece by the Guardian. He argued that he is the target of an illegal conspiracy.

Clarke’s career has been filled with extraordinary moments. He won the Rising Star prize at 2009’s BAFTA Film Awards. In 2021, he was awarded BAFTA’s Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award. These accolades today form a glaring juxtaposition to the shocking charges he’s been painted with.
That investigation is expected to continue for some time. Clarke’s case and future potential legal action are highly awaited by the public and for good reason. The consequences of this matter may have far-reaching impact on Clarke’s professional future and standing in the entertainment community.
