Coronation Street actor Bill Roache, who plays Ken Barlow in the soap, will make his first appearance in court today accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in 1967.
William Roache
will appear at Preston Magistrates’ Court for a routine hearing where
the case is expected to be sent to Preston Crown Court for trial at a
later date.
Roache – the world’s longest-serving
