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.
Expose the truth. Vote with wallet. Stop the cronyism.
The Republic needs a major correction.
This is our last shot at a free and fair election.
They’d better hurry with that tape.
What an amazing coincidence, they knew each other, and they knew Hillary. Amazing.
Also Leeds claims that Trump lifted armrest of first class seat and then started groping her. BUSTED!!!!! they are affixed and do not lift in any model of plane in 1984. Also , I believe Trump had his own plane at this time
‘I remember “Coronation Street” on BBC when I was a kid. As sordid as the US soaps.’
It can be pretty sordid these days but back-in-the-day it certainly wasn’t. It’s an ITV show, and at times the nearest it came to scandal was wondering if Betty’s hotpot in the local pub (The Rovers Return) would burn. Although bad guy Alan Bradley did die underneath a tram in Blackpool which held the nation enthralled.
Nothing sordid about William Roache either. A decent man who was proved innocent of those foul charges.
We live in an age when a man’s reputation can be utterly destroyed in an instant. It took Mr Roache over a year to clear his name. Mr Trump has under 30 days.
Leeds shara phone number with....

Me too! My dad was stationed at Northolt in the 50s/60s. Can’t believe it’s still on. Favorite line was “What are you looking at, specky 4 eyes?” to a woman wearing glasses. I died laughing. Of course I was only 6.
Bkmrk.

Freepmail me any links you’ve found on this.
