A former 'Coronation Street' actor will be found not guilty of a third of the child sex charges against him after a judge ruled on his case today.

A former Coronation Street actor “used his status” to “flatter and gain the trust” of a 14-year-old boy whom he went on to indecently assault on a number of occasions, a court heard today.

Viewers were left stunned as they saw Coronation Street’s scheming Frank Foster walk free from court after he was found not guilty of raping Carla Connor.
