Last month, in disturbing Coronation Street scenes, Aaron Sandford preyed on his girlfriend's best friend Amy Barlow after the pair ended up drinking together at the flat they shared. Aaron raped Amy in the ITV soap but has continued to deny any wrongdoing.
After having drinks to celebrate Aaron qualifiying to become a mechanic at Kevin Webster's garage, events took a dark turn as Amy, played by Ellie Mulvaney, went to her bedroom to find more booze and Aaron, played by James Craven, followed her. As they sat down on the bed Aaron complimented Amy and kissed her in the storyline exploring consent.
Amy then declared that she felt sick and rolled away from him. But Aaron moved in closer and continued to kiss Amy, who was unaware of what was happening as he was seen making the decision for her that they would have sex.
