Former Coronation Street actress Imogen Boorman has been placed on the sex offenders register after admitting to a series of offences including public indecency and theft of alcohol.

The 52 year old mum-of-three, who played Vanessa Morgan in the popular ITV soap during the 1990s, was arrested last May following a drunken incident at the Picture House pub in Montrose, Scotland, where she resides.

Boorman, who also starred in Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Casualty and Lovejoy, pleaded guilty to seven charges in total and is set to be sentenced in April.

The court heard that Boorman entered the pub around 10pm and stripped naked after simply smiling when asked for her order. She then climbed onto the bar, lay down and began drinking directly from the beer taps.

It was reported that while lying on the bar, she took a man's hands and placed them on her bare chest, sexually assaulting him before spraying his face with a draught juice gun. Boorman then moved to the dining area of the pub where she attempted to pull down the same man's trousers in a sexual manner.

Four police officers were sent to a pub where a drunken woman was causing trouble. Two female officers tried to help her get dressed again. The court heard that when she got to the police station in Dundee, she hurt one of the officers by grabbing her arm, which caused scratches and redness.

Boorman had drunk or spilled alcohol worth 321.86. She admitted stealing alcohol from the bar, behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and public indecency. She also pleaded guilty to charges of assaulting and sexually assaulting the customer and resisting police and assaulting a PC, reports The Mirror.

Boorman's lawyer said she felt very embarrassed and sorry for what she had done. But he said she was now doing better and was being treated for a condition called complex PTSD.

The judge said he would decide what to do about Boorman on April 2. He told Boorman: "I can see you hung your head as that narrative was being read out. No doubt it tortures you to have to appear and listen to what was your behaviour back then. I'm very delighted to hear from your solicitor that you have made significant progress in addressing the alcohol issue that was no doubt behind these extraordinary, bizarre events."

Description

A graduate who raped four women was jailed yesterday but given a shorter sentence because of his age. 

Logan Doig, 23, was locked up for nine and a half years at the High Court in Glasgow for a series of attacks at a university and in halls of residence. 

But the judge said he had reduced the term due to sentencing guidelines on young people. 

Doig struck between March 2015 and November 2020. 

Three of the rape victims and a fifth woman were subjected to other sexual attacks. 

The offences took place in Forfar and Kirriemuir, Angus, as well as a property in Dundee. 

One woman was violently attacked at Queen Margaret University, East Lothian, and raped in the student halls. 

Doig, of Kirriemuir, committed all the offences while aged between 15 and 21. A jury last month found him guilty of 12 offences including five rape charges. 

Yesterday, he was given a 12-and-a-half-year extended sentence by Lord Clark, including nine-and-a-half behind bars, and put on the sex offenders' register. But the judge said he had given Doig a shorter sentence than would have gone to an older offender due to the guidelines. 

These say under-25s should receive lesser sentences as they lack maturity and understanding for their actions. 

The judge added: 'I say you present a level of risk to the safety of women which makes an extended sentence necessary for the safety of the public. You were aged between 15 and 21 and I have to give careful consideration to the guidelines on sentencing young people.' 

It comes after a rape victim, 17, told how her alleged attacker escaped justice under SNP-backed diversion from prosecution rules which meant his case was not taken to court and referred to social workers instead. 

Scottish Tory justice spokesman Russell Findlay said: 'The guidelines seek to make excuses for the worst types of criminality with absolutely no consideration for the victims.'
