| Emmerdale actor at rape hearing |
Five people have testified at a preliminary hearing in the case against Emmerdale actor Ben Freeman, who is charged with rape in Barbados.
The prosecution witnesses include police officers and staff at the hotel where the alleged rape occurred on 29 November, a police spokesman said.
Mr Freeman, 26, from Leeds, West Yorkshire, attended the hearing in Bridgetown but did not enter a plea.
The preliminary hearing determines if there is enough evidence for a trial. Police said a British woman, aged 16, accused Mr Freeman of sexually assaulting her while the actor was on holiday at the Almond Beach Village resort.
Chief magistrate Clyde Nicholls did not impose any restrictions on Mr Freeman's travel.Mr Freeman, who plays Scott Windsor in the ITV1 soap, is currently taking a break from the series to fight the allegations. |
