Ex-Doctor Who actor Noel Clarke charged with several sexual offences including assault, voyeurism

Ruby Rose has accused her former co-star Noel Clarke of "preying on a woman" on the set of their film "SAS: Rise of the Black Swan," after Clarke was charged with multiple sexual offenses in the UK. Rose reported Clarke on Threads, stating that she had reported his behavior years ago, but nothing was done. Clarke is currently facing six sexual-related charges, including two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism, and one count of exposure, for alleged incidents that occurred between 2007 and 2016 involving five women.

The allegations stem from a 2021 exposé by The Guardian, which detailed over 20 women accusing Clarke of sexual misconduct, some of which allegedly took place on the set of "Doctor Who." Clarke denied all allegations and sued The Guardian for libel, losing the case in August 2025. The accusations against Clarke have led to various repercussions, including the cancellation of his TV show "Bulletproof" by Sky, the suspension of his BAFTAs membership and award, and multiple lawsuits.
