Latest World. Le Vell, 48, who plays car mechanic Kevin Webster in the ITV soap and is appearing in court under his real name, Michael Turner, is accused of five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, and two each of sexual activity with a child and causing a child to engage in such activity.

He denies all the charges. The prosecution alleges that he started abusing the girl by slipping his hand under her clothing as she lay in bed. On one occasion he is said to have raped her as she clutched a teddy bear. He allegedly told her: "It's OK, just keep calm, stay asleep I'm going to get rid of the evil.

Earlier, as she gave evidence from behind a screen, the girl rejected an assertion by Le Vell's barrister, Alisdair Williamson, that none of the abuse had happened. When Williamson questioned why she recalled more now than she had when first interviewed by police, she said her memory had been improved by a series of recent flashbacks. Poppy Logo.
