Coronation Street star Roache wrote to his alleged victim, court hears

Coronation Street star William Roache wrote a letter to a 14-year-old girl weeks after he allegedly indecently assaulted her and asked her to reply “when you start school again”, a jury has heard.

Giving evidence, the complainant said Roache forced her to perform a sex act on him in the gents’ toilets at Granada Studios in Manchester in the summer of 1965.
