Noel Clarke has been charged with sexual offences, the Met Police have confirmed as they said he would appear before court next month.
The 50-year-old actor has been charged with two counts of sexual assault, three charges of voyeurism and one charge of exposure regarding incidents alleged to have taken place between 2007 and 2016 in relation to five women.
The Met Police said that these charges come from an investigation that started in September 2025, and that Clarke will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 21 October.

Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney, whose team is leading the investigation, said: "The women connected to these charges continue to receive support from specially trained officers.
"We urge anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to contact police.
"The information you provide will be dealt with in the utmost sensitivity and we have trained investigators on hand to support you.
"Support is also available by contacting the independent charity, Rape Crisis at 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line."
The Met Police said a man who was then in his 40s was arrested last year on 25 September and a file of evidence was later presented to the Crown Prosecution Service who have decided to press charges.
Bethan David, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London said: "The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Noel Clarke with two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism and one count of exposure.
"This follows allegations made by five women in connection to sexual misconduct that took place between 2007 and 2016.
"Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to do so.
"We have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police as they have carried out their investigation into the allegations.
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that proceedings are now active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial. It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
The actor previously brought a libel action against The Guardian for their reporting on him, claiming that the newspaper's investigation was false and he'd been the victim of a conspiracy, but a high court judgement last year ruled in The Guardian's favour.
