Ben Freeman

Tv star Ben Freeman will be rested from his role in Emmerdale after he was charged with raping a girl while on holiday in Barbados, a spokeswoman for the soap said yesterday. The 26-year-old, who plays Scott Windsor in the ITV1 soap, was arrested and charged with the rape of a 16-year-old British girl by police on November 29. An Emmerdale spokeswoman said Freeman, who has returned to the UK on bail of £25,000, had asked for a leave of absence to enable him to fight the accusations.
