Noel Clarke, who starred in Doctor Who and Kidulthood, has reportedly been arrested in London.
The Sun and The Guardian wrote that Clarke was arrested at his family home in Kensington on Thursday. Neither publication cited the reasons for his arrest.
Metropolitan Police officers are also said to have raided Clarke’s home, seizing items including laptops and documents. The Sun published images of police carrying the items.
The Met Police and Clarke have been contacted for comment.
The reported arrest follows Clarke being defeated in his libel lawsuit against The Guardian after the newspaper detailed allegations of sexual misconduct by more than 20 women in 2021.
The 49-year-old, who has always denied wrongdoing, has been ordered to pay at least £3M ($4M) of The Guardian publisher’s legal costs after losing the case.
Clarke has not worked in any substantial capacity since the allegations were published. He played Mickey Smith in Doctor Who, while his last series on UK television was ITV’s Viewpoint in 2021.
Clarke created hit indie movie Kidulthood and had roles in other productions, including Star Trek Into Darkness and Bulletproof.
