Orange is the New Black actor says she worked with Clarke years ago.

Australian actor Ruby Rose says she reported Kidulthood actor Noel Clarke and no one followed up.

The 50-year-old was charged yesterday (Wednesday, 9 September) with six counts of sex offences after a file of evidence was submitted by detectives.

Clarke faces two charges of sexual assault, three charges of voyeurism and one charge of exposure.

"Noel Clarke has been charged," the actor wrote on Threads.

"Years ago he preyed on a woman who worked on our SAS film. I reported him. No one cared. I was told not to get involved. Nobody followed up. So many came forward, finally some justice."

The pair appeared together in SAS: Rise of the Black Swan in 2021.

Clarke's career collapsed in 2021 after The Guardian published allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

He denied all claims.

The Met Police say that the offences are alleged to have happened between 2007 and 2016 and relate to five women.

Clarke is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 21 October.

The charges come following an investigation opened in September 2025.

The Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges after a file of evidence was presented.

Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney 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.

Clarke has starred in a number of TV shows, notably in Doctor Who, in which he played Mickey Smith for five years between 2005 and 2010.
