I doubt we shall ever know.
Maybe these women had actually met Roache years ago - autograph hunting at Coronation St maybe? - he would not remember as he's probably signed millions of autographs over the years.
I would like to know the "timeline" of this case .... Did these 'complaints' come before or after Michael Le Vell's acquittal?

I am a big believer in the Jury system (in lieu of anything better) - the public are not as daft as they sometimes pretend to be !
