Coronation Street 's Michael Le Vell charged with child rape
Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell has been charged with a string of sex offences, including raping a child.

Greater Manchester Police said he is also accused of indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child.

The actor, 48, who plays Kevin Webster in the ITV1 soap, faces a total of 19 charges relating to crimes allegedly committed between 2001 and 2010.

Mr Le Vell, whose real name is Michael Turner, is due before magistrates in Manchester on 27 February.

Alison Levitt QC, principal legal adviser to the Director of Public Prosecutions, said she had reviewed a decision not to prosecute Mr Le Vell following allegations made against him in 2011.

She said: "I have very carefully reviewed the evidence in this case and I have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to charge Michael Robert Turner with a number of sexual offences.

"I have authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mr Turner with 19 offences, including rape of a child.

"Mr Turner has now been charged with criminal offences and has a right to a fair trial."

The actor, from Hale in Greater Manchester, has played the role of garage mechanic Kevin Webster for 30 years, making him one of the longest-serving performers in Coronation Street.

i think there is the possibility of a new programme for all the actors convicted,a bit of fly on the wall type

they could call it i'm a celebrity get me in there and they could have it a bit like cell block h used to be.

they could even have different wings for the seriousness of offence

cat c could be called the peter adamson wing for the roaming thumb merchants

cat b could be the john leslie wing for the voyeurs

cat a could be the jimmy saville memorial wing for all the gary glitter type nonces

i for one would watch it

[gc1966]

they could set them daily challenges like bending for the soap in the shower whilst avoided tony the trannies wandering hands or making a shank against the clock fashioned from anything they find in their cell.

the public could vote for the loser to be sent into the exercise yard for a set time with the resident nonce hater which could be a non celebrity inmate.

Just said on news itv are proframming him out of the programme but say it will be a very very big job

So ehy not just film him having an accident job donr

Looking at his latest photo in court he looks a broken man... and Helen Flannagan is supporting him ...what does she know.. she is as thick as pig shit.

Innocent till proven guilty but these charges never look good do they.

Hopefully the jimmy saville fiasco has given courage to kids who have been abused in the past to finally speak out.
