Noel Clarke denies six sexual offence charges at Westminster Magistrates' Court
Actor Noel Clarke has pleaded not guilty to six sexual offence charges at Westminster Magistrates' Court. The charges, stemming from a year-long Metropolitan Police investigation, include counts of sexual assault, voyeurism, and exposure. Allegations from five women relate to incidents between 2007 and 2016. Clarke previously lost a libel case against The Guardian. The hearing marks the formal start of legal proceedings following the Crown Prosecution Service's authorization of the charges.
