The Coronation Street actor Bill Roache had wandering hands "like an octopus", according to a woman who alleges he groped her in his dressing room when she was a teenager.
The woman, now 59, was molested by Roache at some point between June 1968 and October 1970 when she was under 16, Preston crown court heard. She is one of five women who claim he abused them in the 1960s and early 1970s.
In a police video played to the jury on Friday, the woman described how she and her younger sister used to hang around outside Granada Studios in Manchester, where the soap was filmed.
She said Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since the show began in 1960, would come out and talk to them and eventually got the sisters passes to tour the studios.
NYT copies this story or got set up.
27D chess. Checkmate!
False but inaccurate.
How about just a smidgen of background, like “Leeds”.
Leeds is the Trump accuser pn today’s cover of the NYT.
Buckhead Lives!
The NYT will have to issue a retraction.
This is Dan Rather level MSM takedown.
They copied the old story or they got set up. They were trolling for stories like this. They may have been set up to lose all credibility. Which they will when they admit they ran a false front page story on Trump.
I remember “Coronation Street” on BBC when I was a kid. As sordid as the US soaps.
After all, those Brits are soo articulate!
even the guys name is bill.
Genius.
I think Trump or a fab set them up.
And Bill Roache (United States audiences might be more familiar with his son, the actor Linus Roache) was innocent of the charges.
He and his family suffered a year of intense pain and anguish, on the front pages of many national newspapers, before a court dismissed these false charges.
He had been in Coronation Street from the very beginning and was a well known name in the UK.
So a word for word quote from a discredited similar story.
Trump pwned the NYT.
Pepe!
Yes, that’s absolutely right.
I wonder how some people can sleep at night, I really do.
Nothing would please me more than to see DT make the NYT his b****.
There’s supposedly video on the way of ladies who have been around trump getting offered bribes and facing threats to accuse Trump of sex assault.
They recorded it and it’ll be dropped soon. So I’ve read.
I have a legit question.
Can what is going on now be solved through the ballot box?
The press is finally completely out for the dens. They’re not hiding it at all. How the hell can any republican get a fair shake against what trump is currently facing?
I think there need to be EXTREME changes and those changes will not be allowed to be voted on.
