Michael Le Vell accuser is cross-examined during trial

A girl who claims she was raped by Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell has been cross-examined in court by Mr Le Vell's barrister.

Mr Le Vell, 48, who is on trial under his real name Michael Turner, denies 12 charges, including five of rape.

Defending, Alisdair Williamson accused the girl of telling "a little lie" when speaking to an officer about one rape.

The offences were allegedly committed between 2001 and 2010.
