'Octopus' William Roache's hands were 'everywhere' claims sex assault victim

An alleged sex assault victim has claimed that William Roache was like “an octopus” with “hands everywhere”.

She also claimed that the 81-year-old Coronation Street star arranged studio passes for her and her younger sister when she was 14, and groped her in a room at Granada Studios in Manchester, Metro.co.uk reported.

Roache has denied two counts of rape and five counts of indecent assault involving five complainants aged 16 and under on dates between 1965 and 1971.
