    The actor who plays Kevin Webster in Coronation Street has been charged with child sex offences, police have said.
    Michael Le Vell, who plays the garage boss in the television soap opera, is accused of 19 sex offences including raping a child, indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child.
    Le Vell, 47, whose real name is Michael Turner, will appear in court in two weeks' time, according to Greater Manchester Police.
    He was first arrested and questioned over the alleged child offences in September 2011, however, the matter was later dropped.
    Police said that Le Vell had been charged with the sex offences after a review of the evidence by lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service.
    A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: "A man has been charged with 19 child sex offences.
    "Michael Turner, of Byrom Street, Hale, has been charged with 19 offences including raping a child, indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child.
    "He is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates on Wednesday February 27.
    "The charges, which were authorised by the CPS following a review of evidence, relate to offences against a child between 2001 and 2010."
    Alison Levitt, QC, principal legal adviser to the Director of Public Prosecutions, had reviewed a file of evidence in relation to allegations of sexual offences and looked again at a decision previously made not to prosecute.
    Ms Levitt said: "I have very carefully reviewed the evidence in this case and I have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to charge Michael Robert Turner with a number of sexual offences.
    "I have authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mr Turner with 19 offences, including rape of a child.
    "Mr Turner has now been charged with criminal offences and has a right to a fair trial.
    "As proceedings are now active, it would be inappropriate to say anything further at this stage."
    Le Vell first appeared as Kevin Webster in Coronation Street on October 19, 1983. His is one of the soap's most enduring characters.

    Seems he was motivated by it, unabashed. Made a career out of it! Very much in the public eye, indeed famous much like Ian Watkins and Jimmy Saville...

    would anyone like to run it by me again that evil does not exist?

    It does in it's arse! He's an actor in a soap opera. It's smack bang in the middle of the celeb forum.

    Charged not equal to guilty. Steady on folks, like Oscar Pistorious, he is innocent until proven guilty

    Maybe you should let them do it then and mind your own business. If you don't like the thread then don't post in it. Simples.

    Just goes to show, you can never trust a man who has - or has had - a moustache.

    Apart from Tom Selleck. Tom's cool.

    I like Tom.

    Evil is a moral construct that is relative and differs from society to society and person to person, it has about as much independent existance as unicorns. It's just a lot handier to say than "person commits act that the society we live in considers very, very, very, very wrong"

    Maybe, but I'd take a wild guess a suggest they didn't charge him lightly.

    I'm obviously jumping the gun but I'd take a leap and say the trial is just a formality in this case.
