Star Trek actor ‘accused of raping students as they acted love scenes at his home’

An actor is facing allegations of rapes and sex attacks on six students at his home in Notting Hill. Chris Obi, who played a Klingon in Netflix’s Star Trek: Discovery, is alleged to have attacked the women while acting out love scenes during private lessons.

He is alleged to have attacked the women at his home in west London between July 2012 and August 2018. Obi, 51, was taken into custody at Heathrow Airport when he returned to the UK from LA, according to the Sun.

He denies the allegations and was released by police on bail. Obi worked as artistic director at the Actor in Session drama school, but none of the alleged offences are believed to have taken place at the Kensington and Chelsea College.

A Met police spokesman said : ‘The allegations have been made by six female complainants and relate to separate incidents that allegedly took place at an address in the Notting Hill area.’
