Bill Roache, Not Guilty (page 23)

Re: Bill Roache, 81, statement page 14

"I am astounded and deeply horrified by the extraordinary events of the last 24 hours," Roache said.

"I strenuously deny the allegations and will now focus my full attention on fighting to preserve my innocence in the challenging times ahead.

"I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all those people who have offered me their support and good wishes at this difficult time."

ITV has confirmed that Roache's scenes in Coronation Street have been dropped from the soap while investigations are ongoing.

It has been claimed that Ken Barlow was to be involved in a "major storyline" in the show that may now be ditched.

Roache will appear at Preston Magistrates' Court on May 14.

Apropos of nothing, Ken Barlow is an anagram of 'law broken'.

It would be hoped that the authorities have plenty of evidence that will stand up in court, because if some of these allegations are dismissed in court it's going to cost the taxpayer a tidy sum

The Director of Public Prosecutions and the Crown Prosecution Service would not recommend pursuing legal proceedings if they didn't consider that there was a substantive case to answer, or a reasonable likelihood of conviction.

I thought they just looked on here to see what we reckon, then take it from there.

Is this the same CPS that charged me with assault for chasing a car thief, who subsequently ran into the road and got knocked over?
