Actor Micheal Ward’s lawyer will apply to have sexual allegations against him dismissed, a court has heard.
The 27-year-old, who starred in Blue Story and Top Boy, was charged with two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration, and one count of sexual assault against one woman in January 2023.
He appeared in person at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday for what was initially listed as a plea and trial preparation, but his lawyer instead requested a dismissal hearing.
The next hearing is listed for December 5 and Ward was bailed under condition he does not contact the alleged victim.
