Noel Clarke Was Accused Of Sexual Misconduct By His Co-Workers

The Guardian revealed s**ual assault charges against Noel Clarke from 20 professional women in 2021. Between 2004 and 2019, Noel Clarke was accused of grabbing and s**ual misconduct. He is well known for his work on the hood film series, which started with Kidulthood in 2006, and Doctor Who for the BBC.

Allegations leveled against Noel Clarke

The Guardian disclosed the claims made by women who knew him professionally in April 2021. Clarke told one lady he meant to “f**k her and fire her” and covertly filmed a n**ed audition. Clarke, according to the former London School of Dramatic Art student, urged students to strip during improvisation lessons. After the accusations were made public, the Met said that it was conducting an investigation. Scotland Yard, on the other hand, stated on Friday that it will not begin a formal inquiry “after a comprehensive review by professional officers.”

Reports should be taken seriously, and women should be listened to, according to Anna Birley, a member of the advocacy group Reclaim These Streets, which recently won a high court battle against the Met.

According to Anna Birley:

“Our criminal justice system consistently fails women.”

Following the claims of sexual harassment, Bafta revoked an award for outstanding British contribution to film that it had granted a little over a month previously. Despite concerns regarding Clarke’s personality and actions, the committee was reprimanded for bestowing the prize on him. Actors such as Christina Chong, who co-starred in Bulletproofs with Clarke, said that the claims against him had been “the UK film industry’s best-kept secret for years.” If you’re not sure, trust me when I say it’s true.”

Following the claims, Noel Clarke resigned from his production firm. Sky’s Bulletproof, in which he starred, was pulled off the schedule and canceled. Clarke’s BAFTA membership was also revoked, as was his Award for Exceptional British Contribution to Cinema, which he was awarded in April 2021.

Noel Clarke has refuted all the allegations.

The Doctor Who actor “vehemently” rejected “any s**ual misconduct or criminal crime” and expressed “deep remorse” that some of his activities had hurt others “in ways I did not intend or recognize.” Clarke stated he pondered suicide but changed his mind after speaking with his kid for the first time since the stories broke.

He stated:

“Twenty years of labor in 24 hours.” I lost everything, including the firm I established from the bottom up, my TV series, movies, book agreements, and industry recognition. It has wounded my heart and mind in ways I cannot express.”

Police stated in March that no criminal investigation will be conducted into the accusations. According to the Metropolitan Police Department, after a “thorough evaluation,” the information submitted “would not satisfy the threshold for a criminal investigation.”

According to Noel Clarke:

“What kind of society do we live in if we don’t need cops, courts, and juries anymore, if we just need social media and broadcasters?” When did broadcasters in our nation become the people’s judges, juries, and executioners?”

Following the publication of the allegations in the Guardian, BAFTA suspended his membership and revoked his award for distinguished accomplishment in the British film industry.
