Noel Clarke claims his accusers engaged voluntarily

Noel Clarke is in court for a libel case against the Guardian, claiming his accusers engaged in sexual conversations voluntarily. He argues that their behavior creates a "moral equivalence" with his alleged misconduct. During cross-examination, Clarke denied specific allegations, including inappropriate touching and sexual comments made at a Doctor Who convention. He stated that he only tapped a woman's knee to indicate a fan was lingering. Clarke is also accused of exposing himself during a music video shoot in 2016. He denied these claims, saying any actions were misinterpreted as jokes. The trial continues, focusing on multiple allegations from over 20 women.
