Top Boy actor Micheal Ward was 'overpowering' as he raped woman in car, court told
Ward denies the allegations, saying all sexual activity was consensual as jurors hear he is accused of raping and assaulting one woman in a car.
- On Monday, actor Michael Ward appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court, where he denies five charges including two counts of rape and two counts of assault by penetration involving a woman in January 2023.
- Prosecutor Tracy Ayling KC told jurors Ward met the alleged victim at an "all-white party" at Infinity Lounge in Gants Hill on New Year's Day, where he asked for her Snapchat handle after she recognized him from television and film.
- The court heard Ward "became quite impatient" and told the woman to "stop wasting time," while she stated "this was not a situation she wanted to be in" before he "quite sternly told her to close" the car door.
- Following the alleged assaults, the woman messaged Ward "in friendly terms" because she "hadn't fully come to terms with what had actually happened to her," yet later ordered an STI kit and reported the assault.
- Ward maintains his innocence, asserting he had "consensual foreplay and consensual sex" with the woman and expressing "full faith" that proceedings will lead to his name being cleared.
