Lucy Osborne, a Guardian journalist, revealed in high court testimony that the investigation into Noel Clarke led to the highest volume of leads she has seen in her career. Following the publication of their first article, over 25 new sources reached out within just 24 hours. The continuous influx of unsolicited messages from various individuals made it impossible to follow up on all leads. This case underscores the broader implications of public accountability in allegations of sexual misconduct against high-profile individuals.

After the publication of the first article, we continued to receive many unsolicited messages... our sources were also connecting us with people.
There were expressions and types of sexual language used by Clarke that came up repeatedly.
