Claims Coronation Street's William Roache raped girl 'unlikely' 31 January 2014 Last updated at 12:57 A woman who alleges she was raped by Coronation Street actor William Roache described a "very unlikely set of circumstances," a court has heard. Louise Blackwell QC, defending, said changing her mind about how old she was at the time cast doubt on her claims. "That's the sort of thing a young woman would remember with real clarity," she told the jury at Preston Crown Court. Mr Roache is alleged to have indecently assaulted girls in the toilets and dressing rooms at Granada Studios in Manchester, as well as in his Rolls-Royce. One woman alleges he raped her twice at his homes in Haslingden, Lancashire, on separate occasions. In her closing speech, Ms Blackwell described the alleged rape victim's story as "so weak when you start to look at it." She asked the jury: "Where is the evidence that they were in the studios, in that cottage or in that car? If you cannot be sure that's the end of the matter. She said there were also "very real difficulties" with the evidence of two sisters who claim to have been indecently assaulted. One of the women told the court last week that Mr Roache assaulted her after he arranged passes for her to visit Granada Studios in Manchester with her sister, who alleges she was also abused by Mr Roache on a separate occasion.
