By Daily Mail UK, 10 September 2013


Alcoholic Michael Le Vell celebrated with a pint of lager today minutes after he was found not guilty of raping and sexually assaulting a girl from the age of six.

The jury in the Coronation Street star's trial took less than five hours to clear him of the child abuse charges he said left him 'fighting for my life'.
On the steps of Manchester Crown Court the 'delighted' 48-year-old said: 'I might go and have a drink' before he was seen wildly celebrating at a nearby hotel with family and friends.
Mr Le Vell, who has played mechanic Kevin Webster for 30 years, had sobbed and mouthed 'thank you' to the eight women and four men after they returned not guilty verdicts for each of the 12 counts, which included five of child rape.

The actor's supporters have called the Crown Prosecution Service 'vindictive' for bringing him to court, having first dumped the case in 2011 because of a lack of evidence.
During the trial the star was forced to admit he sank up to 12 pints a night, had a string of one-night stands and an affair while his wife had cancer treatment as the prosecution tried unsuccessfully to persuade the jury his 'dark little secrets' included child abuse.




Relief: The Coronation Street actor, one of Britain's best-loved soap stars, is hugged by his sister Sue on the steps of Manchester Crown Court




Relief: The 48-year-old was tried under his real name, Michael Turner, and he waved to fans to celebrate being found not guilty of rape and sexual assault of a child





Free man: Mr Le Vell was swept from Manchester Crown Court after being cleared of child sex charges to a hotel bar





Salute: The actor's family and loved-ones toasted him as they digested the news he had been cleared



Despite the verdict this afternoon the CPS has stood by its decision to charge Le Vell.


'This case was reviewed in great detail and the evidence subject to careful scrutiny before a decision was taken to prosecute,' a spokesman said.
'On the basis of the reviews the CPS concluded that there was sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction.

As these were very serious allegations of child sexual abuse it therefore followed that it was in the public interest to place that evidence before a jury at court.

'It is for the jury to determine whether a defendant is guilty or not and we of course respect the verdicts they have reached today.'

The jurors had been told they must decide if the alleged victim was telling the truth or set out to 'quite literally destroy the life' of the actor.
They believed Le Vell, who has played garage mechanic Kevin Webster in the ITV1 soap for 30 years and said the girl was a 'liar' and he was a victim of a celebrity witch hunt.

The 48-year-old was never suspended by the ITV soap, and could be free to rejoin after he was cleared today.
After walking free from court, Le Vell said he was 'delighted' and thanked ITV for their 'continued support throughout this traumatic time for all of us'.
It's a big weight off everyone's shoulders,' he said.
'I might go and have a drink now.'

Asked when he would return to Coronation Street, Le Vell replied: 'I don't know, I might have a holiday first. I'll have to go and have a chat with my boss.'

Commenting after the verdicts, a spokeswoman for Coronation Street said: 'We are looking forward to meeting with Michael to discuss his return to the programme.'

The 48-year-old was tried under his real name, Michael Turner, and denied five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child, and two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
He was accused of sexually assaulting and raping a young girl from the age of six, who cannot be named for legal reasons, including once while she clutched her favourite teddy.




Moment of truth: After eight days in court the actor, sketched today, waved to each member of the jury as they cleared him of all charges





Reaction: He then turned to his family and friends and sobbed when what had happened sank in




Big moment: Surrounded by his minders, the 48-year-old actor looked relieved as he walked out of Manchester Crown Court a free man





Dramatic: Mr Le Vell was clapped and cheered by supporters who gathered outside the Manchester court where he was tried





Fresh start: The Corrie star has had the allegations hanging over him for several years but was visibly relieved as he walked down the steps and into a waiting car



One man shouted 'get in' when the last verdict was read out.

Le Vell looked round in confusion before he left the dock and was hugged by a supporter.

Cries of relief were then heard as he left the courtroom a free man, with his family members.
During the eight-day trial, the 'demons' in Le Vell's private life were laid bare - his alcoholism and womanising while his wife battled breast cancer.

The court heard of his 'dark secret' that he had enjoyed a string of one-night stands behind the back of his wife of 25 years, Janette Beverley. And he had abandoned the family home to get drunk in the pub each night.
Le Vell told the court he recognised he had a drink problem and had twice attended Alcoholics Anonymous but concluded 'it's not worked out for me'.

'Both lasted two weeks, each attempt,' he said.
'I think the last time was about three years ago... the other time was three years prior to that.'

But while he might be described as a 'weak, stupid and drunk man' and a 'bad husband', he was not a child rapist, his lawyer said.


Le Vell was initially arrested on September 30 2011, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to proceed with the case.

After a review of the evidence following fresh allegations by the girl, Le Vell was re-arrested and charged in February this year.

He first joined Coronation Street in 1983 and quickly endeared himself to fans, who have followed the trials and tribulations of Kevin, from Brian Tilsley's apprentice mechanic through to his stormy marriage to Sally, played by Sally Dynevor.

He did not appear in any episodes of the soap during the legal proceeding but is now very likely to return.
Yesterday his lawyers said he was a weak and stupid alcoholic but he did not rape a girl from the age of six.

Manchester Crown Court was told the Coronation Street actor’s drinking problems were being used against him in a ‘prosecution by cliché’.
But Eleanor Laws QC, for the Crown, insisted the soap star had committed the offences ‘in drink’.
She told the jury to dismiss the idea the 48-year-old was the subject of a witch hunt amid a welter of prosecutions of celebrities.
And she said the alleged victim had nothing to gain by ‘quite literally destroying the life’ of an innocent man.
‘No one likes to think someone they liked or admired has done anything like this,’ Miss Laws added.
‘These offences are not committed by one obvious type of person. They are committed by individuals who are loved by their friends, who have no idea what is going on.’

Alisdair Williamson, defending, told the jury Le Vell should not be found guilty just because he was ‘weak, inadequate and a drunk’.
‘This has been prosecution by cliché,’ he added. ‘Mr Turner drinks a lot, he has his demons. What’s that supposed to mean? He has troubles. What’s that supposed to mean? That’s all the Crown can come up with for a motive.’

He said the evidence put forward by the girl was ‘inconsistent’ and lacked detail and was at times ‘incoherent and unbelievable’.

He said no child pornography was found on Le Vell’s computer, no adults had been uneasy having their children around him and he had no criminal convictions.
He told the jury that if they found the actor guilty they were ‘going to take a man’s life away from him’ and cast him into the ‘outer darkness’.

‘Nothing in this case has taken you anywhere near the level of certainty that you would need so that you can look in the mirror in the days that come and say, “I was sure”,’ he said.
