    Top Boy actor Micheal Ward charged with two counts of rape

    .

    Top Boy actor Micheal Ward has been charged with two counts of rape and is due to appear in court next month.

    Ward, 27, has also been charged with 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.

    “Our specialist officers continue to support the woman who has come forward – we know investigations of this nature can have a significant impact on those who make reports,” said Detective Superintendent Scott Ware, whose team is leading the Met Police’s investigation.

    Ward, of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, is due to appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court on 28 August, the Crown Prosecution Service said.

    In a statement, Catherine Baccas, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London South, said: “We remind all concerned that proceedings against the suspect are active and he has a right to a fair trial.

    “It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in anyway prejudice these proceedings.”

    Ward starred in the popular Netflix series Top Boy as Jamie. He also appeared in films like Blue Story, The Old Guard and Empire of Light.

    In 2020, the Jamaican-born actor was awarded the Bafta Rising Star honour in 2020.

    He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor Bafta in 2021 for his role as Franklyn in the BBC series Small Axe, and in 2022 for his performance as Stephen in Empire of Light.
