BAFTA suspended Clarke’s membership and an honorary award after the Guardian published allegations of sexual misconduct made by 20 women who worked with him.

One of the accusations is that he filmed a nude audition by Jahannah Janes without her consent and showed it to a producer who worked for him. The same producer accuses him of exposing his genitals to her in the back of a car and groping her in a lift the next day.

Other women allege that Clarke pressured them to perform sex scenes nude, and grew angry if they refused.
On March 27, 2022, it was revealed that Metropolitan Police had decided not to proceed to investigate the sexual harassment claims against Clarke. In September of the same year, it was reported that Clarke had dropped the legal action he had taken against BAFTA following its suspension of his membership and honorary award.
