Micheal Ward, the BAFTA-winning British star of “Top Boy” and “Eddington,” has been found not guilty of rape and sexual assault in a London court.

The 28-year-old was accused of raping a woman in the back of a car after meeting her outside a New Year’s party in London in January 2023.

Ward had denied two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration and one count of sexual assault. On Friday, the jury unanimously found him not guilty of all charges.
