Micheal Ward, a British actor known for his role in the popular Netflix series Top Boy, has denied allegations of rape in a court hearing. The 26-year-old is accused of assaulting a woman in a car, with the incident allegedly occurring in 2025. Ward's lawyer argued that his client was not 'bent on' getting his own way during the alleged incident, as suggested by prosecutors.
The court has heard that the alleged rape occurred in a car, but the details surrounding the incident remain unclear. Ward has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, with his lawyer arguing that any interaction between the actor and the alleged victim was consensual.
The case is ongoing, with further details expected to emerge as the trial continues. Ward's representatives have declined to comment on the allegations, citing the ongoing nature of the proceedings.
The alleged incident is not the first time Ward has faced controversy in recent years. In 2024, he was involved in a high-profile incident in which he was accused of being involved in a street fight in London.
Ward's denial of the allegations has sparked a mixed reaction from fans and supporters, with some calling for the actor to be given the benefit of the doubt until the case is resolved.
