Star of the iconic series Doctor Who, Noel Clarke, was taken into custody on Thursday following a police search of his residence in London, as reported by The Guardian.
According to sources, detectives from the Metropolitan Police were photographed leaving the actor’s home in Kensington with various boxes during the search. While the specific details surrounding Clarke’s arrest remain undisclosed, he has since been released from custody. This investigation, which commenced on September 1st, is being handled by the central specialist crime command.
Variety has attempted to contact the Metropolitan Police for further comments, though no immediate response has been received from Clarke’s representatives at this time.
Clarke’s legal affairs have faced scrutiny recently, having suffered a significant setback in August when he lost a libel case against The Guardian. The case stemmed from an explosive report published in 2021 that outlined allegations of sexual misconduct from over 20 women. During a tense six-week trial, more than a dozen women testified, detailing their experiences of alleged misconduct by Clarke, who has consistently denied any inappropriate behavior.
Following the court ruling, Katharine Viner, editor-in-chief of Guardian News and Media, issued a statement recognizing the victory for the women involved. “This judgment signifies a hard-fought success for those women who encountered unacceptable behavior from Noel Clarke,” she remarked. “The decision to stand in court is a daunting task, and yet over 20 women chose to testify in the High Court, showing remarkable bravery against potential intimidation.”
