British actor and filmmaker Noel Clarke, best known for his roles in "Doctor Who" and "Kidulthood," pleaded not guilty to six sexual offense charges involving five women during a court appearance in London on Wednesday.
The 50-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court, where he denied two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism and one count of exposure.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the public authority responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in England and Wales, the charges relate to alleged incidents involving five women between 2007 and 2016.
During Wednesday's proceedings, Clarke confirmed his identity and entered not guilty pleas to all six charges before being granted bail.
The actor, who is from West London, is scheduled to appear at Southwark Crown Court on Nov. 18 as the legal proceedings move forward.
Clarke rose to prominence through his portrayal of Mickey Smith in the BBC science-fiction series "Doctor Who." He also wrote and starred in the 2006 film "Kidulthood," establishing a career that has included acting, writing, producing and directing.
The criminal proceedings remain active, and Clarke retains his right to a fair trial.
