Sex claims actor: Police assess report
The Metropolitan Police say they are assessing a third party report relating to claims of sexual offences committed by a male, after allegations were made about actor Noel Clarke.
Allegations of misconduct from 20 women who knew Clarke in a professional capacity emerged last week.
Clarke has previously said he “vehemently” denies claims of sexual misconduct or criminal behaviour but said he will be seeking professional help and has apologised “deeply” for his actions.
In a statement, the police said no investigation was currently taking place.
The Metropolitan Police said yesterday: “On Wednesday April 21, police received a third party report relating to allegations of sexual offences allegedly committed by a male over a period of time.
“Officers are currently assessing the information. There is no investigation at this time.”
On Friday evening,
ITV pulled the concluding episode of drama Viewpoint, which starred the 45-year-old.
Broadcaster Sky, which has aired three series of Clarke’s Bulletproof, has said it is halting work with Clarke following the accusations.
Bafta has also suspended Clarke’s membership of the organisation and his outstanding British contribution to cinema award, which he was handed last month at the film academy’s awards.
He has also been suspended from Unstoppable Film and Television, a production company he co-founded in 2007, according to a statement from a spokesman for parent company All3Media.
