Actor Noel Clarke says he was wrongly dubbed a "sexual predator" in a trial by media that wrecked his showbiz career, as he faces The Guardian in the first round of his £10 million High Court libel battle.
The 47-year-old filmmaker was dropped from TV shows, stripped of a Bafta, and ostracised in media circles after he was publicly accused of sexual misconduct and bullying by 20 women.
