A report has been filed with London’s Met Police relating to sexual misconduct allegations against British actor Noel Clarke.
Met Police confirmed that they received a third party report on April 21 relating to allegations of sexual offenses by a man. Police are assessing the information, but an investigation is not currently underway.
A statement shared with Variety reads: “On Wednesday, 21 April, police received a third party report relating to allegations of sexual offenses allegedly committed by a male over a period of time.”
According to the BBC, an anonymous third party report can’t be investigated by police; however, it can be used as intelligence for cross-referencing against other reports against the same individual.
It’s still unclear who made the initial report to police.
The embattled Clarke is facing numerous sexual misconduct, harassment and bullying allegations from at least 20 women who worked with the actor-producer in a professional setting.

Exclusive: All3Media has suspended Noel Clarke and his business partner Jason Maza from their production company Unstoppable Film and Television following an explosive report on misconduct in The Guardian.
Deadline hears that All3Media chiefs made the decision to suspend the duo this morning, pending the outcome of an investigation into Clarke’s actions after the actor was accused of inappropriate behavior by 20 women. Clarke vehemently denies the allegations.
Maza is also caught up in the story after The Guardian reported that he phoned people in recent weeks who allege or say they witnessed Clarke’s sexual misconduct. He told one woman that Unstoppable would be “done” if the claims emerged. His lawyer said the calls were to “friends in the industry” to dispel “untrue” accusations.

Bulletproof, the British cop drama starring Noel Clarke, has been pulled from The CW’s streaming services after bombshell misconduct allegations against the actor.
The youth-skewing broadcaster aired the first three seasons of the show, which was originally commissioned by Sky in the UK. The third season, set in South Africa and consisting of three episodes, aired in the U.S. earlier this year and ended last month.
The show had been streaming on The CW Seed but Deadline understands that the network has taken it down after British newspaper The Guardian revealed that 20 women have leveled allegations of misconduct against Clarke.
The deeply reported investigation features various accusations — some from women on the record — about sexual harassment, unwanted touching, taking and sharing sexually explicit pictures and videos, and bullying.
It is the latest move against Clarke. Comcast-owned Sky said that they have halted work on season four of Bulletproof and other developments.
