Noel Clarke, 49, was arrested in his home in Kensington after a failed defamation case against the Guardian about the allegations of sexual misconduct. He has to pay at least £ 3m to the legal costs of the newspaper. Doctor Who star Noel Clarke arrested. (X) Noel Clarke, 49, the BBC actor known for Doctor Who, was arrested Thursday morning in his family home in Kensington, West London. Daily Mail assisted a specialist unit unit in the search, and several boxes with laptops and documents were taken from the property. Clarke was subsequently arrested for questioning. The reasons for the arrest have not yet been confirmed. Last case against Guardian ends in the defeat of Clarke’s arrest coming days after losing a high-profile laser case against the Guardian. The actor sued Guardian News and Media (GNM) about seven articles and a podcast, including a April 2021 report claiming that 20 women who worked professionally with Clarke made allegations of sexual misconduct against him. Clarke denied the demands and argued that the newspaper acted as ‘judge, jury and executor’ of his career. Supreme Court ordered £ 3m legal fees A Supreme Court Judge ruled that Clarke should pay at least £ 3m to the Guardian legal costs, describing his case as ‘far -fetched’ and ‘False’. The total cost is expected to exceed £ 6m after a detailed assessment. Justice Steyn said the amount of £ 3m is reasonable and allowed for an ‘appropriate wide errors’, and noted that Clarke pursued demands of dishonesty and bad belief against almost all Guardian witnesses. Allegations of sexual misconduct during the six -week civil case gave more than a dozen women evidence in which he claims that Clarke has sexually harassed or abused them. GNM defended its reporting as accurate and in the public interest, a position upheld by the Supreme Court.
