Jamaican-born British actor Micheal Ward has been charged with two counts of rape. The 27-year-old, who has appeared in several hit movies, is set to appear in court later this year.

According to authorities, Ward will appear before Thames Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, August 28, 2025. He currently resides in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.

The charges against him include two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault. These alleged offences involve one woman and are said to have occurred in January 2023.

Detective Superintendent Scott Ware, who is overseeing the investigation, stated that specialist officers are supporting the woman who reported the incident. He emphasized how emotionally challenging such cases can be for those who come forward.

Catherine Baccas, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London South, explained that after carefully reviewing the evidence, the Crown Prosecution Service approved charges against Ward. These include two charges of rape, two of assault by penetration, and one of sexual assault, all relating to the same woman.

Ward is expected to appear in court on Thursday, August 28, 2025. The authorities stressed that the case is still active, and Ward is entitled to a fair trial.

The CPS also warned the public to avoid sharing posts or comments online that might affect the legal process or cause unfairness during the trial.
