Noel Clarke's lawyers allegedly intimidated accuser, court hears
Noel Clarke's lawyers allegedly threatened a woman with prosecution to deter her from testifying against him, the High Court heard. Clarke is suing the Guardian for libel over articles published between April 2021 and March 2022. During cross-examination, Clarke denied attempting to intimidate the woman, claiming he was unaware she was a witness. He stated the letter was meant to encourage her to support his case. Clarke faced new allegations from the woman regarding inappropriate behavior during a 2014 dinner. He initially denied making certain comments but later acknowledged some, claiming they were in response to her advances.
