He was arrested for child sex offences once before, but apparently cleared, turns out the bastard wasnt cleared after all.

[Omah]

I have no idea who he is, but those are serious charges .....

[Kizzy]

They must have been gathering evidence if he's been re-arrested?

[Mrluvaluva]

19 offences?? Bloody hell.

[Cherie]

he must have employed a top solicitor who got him off first time round

First time around, he was never charged, there wasnt enough evidence, for the case to come back, they must have found some serious proof.

OMG.

[Nedusa]

This case is not as straightforward as one might think, all the charges refer to one person and as the CPS decided there was not enough evidence a year ago what has now changed since no new allegations have arisen? This would appear to be a case of my word against your word hardly enough to convict in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt.

I wonder if the recent Jimmy Savile debacle has had some influence on the CPS to change their view on this.

Either way I would imagine even with no charges his role on Coronation Street is probably now at an end...!!

It could be that more evidence has come to light? I thought that for the CPS to bring charges there has to be more than just one word against another? Although I may be wrong on that.

You are right though the recent allegations and uproar caused by the saville case may have caused them to look more closey at this case.

Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell has appeared in court charged with 19 sexual offences against a child.

Mr Le Vell, 48, whose real name is Michael Turner, faced the charges at Manchester Magistrates' Court.

The alleged offences date between 2001 and 2010 and include six charges of rape, six of indecent assault and seven of sexual touching.

The actor, who plays Kevin Webster in the ITV soap, was bailed to appear at Manchester Crown Court on 20 March.

Mr Le Vell, of Hale in Trafford, spoke only to confirm his details in court and did not enter a plea.

His solicitor said that the charges would be "fully contested" at the crown court.

Are all these charges on the same child? And he's pleading not guilty eh? WTF if the kid is lying about being raped 6 times then lock them up instead but if he's guilty then he's going away for a very very long time.
