"I deny the charges against me entirely. I have cooperated fully with the police throughout their investigation and will continue to cooperate. I recognise that proceedings are now ongoing, and I have full faith that they will lead to my name being cleared. Given those proceedings, I am unable to comment further."
"Our specialist officers continue to support the woman who has come forward we know investigations of this nature can have significant impact on those who make reports."
Micheal Ward has been charged with rape and sexual assault relating to alleged offences against one woman in January 2023. He appeared briefly at Thames Magistrates' Court where he confirmed his name, age and address and was granted conditional bail. He faces two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration and one count of sexual assault. Ward denies the charges and says he has cooperated fully with police and will continue to do so. Detective Superintendent Scott Ware said specialist officers are supporting the woman who came forward. Ward is next due at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 25 September and has received BAFTA recognition and nominations.
