Top Boy actor appears in court on rape charges

BAFTA-winning actor Micheal Ward has been granted bail after appearing in court charged with two counts of rape.

The 27-year-old, who appeared at Thames Magistrates' Court this morning, is also accused of two counts of assault by penetration, and one count of sexual assault. The offences relate to one woman and are reported to have taken place in January 2023.

Ward, who starred in the popular British series Top Boy and was awarded BAFTA's rising star honour in 2020, spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth during a short court hearing. He did not enter any pleas and was granted conditional bail until a further hearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 25 September.

In a statement issued after the charges were announced last month, Ward denied them "entirely" and said he had co-operated with police throughout their investigation. The actor's film credits include Blue Story, The Old Guard and Empire of Light, as well as the current Hollywood Western Eddington.

He was also twice nominated for BAFTA's best supporting actor prize. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
