Neville Buswell, 71, who played womaniser Ray Langton, faces a claim made in the Bill Roache trial that he sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in his ITV dressing room in the 1960s.
Police want to probe an allegation of child sex abuse against a FOURTH Coronation Street star, the Sunday People reports.
Lancashire police have told the star, who now lives in Las Vegas, that they want to question him.
They have formally written to Neville asking him to return to the UK but he is refusing.
It is understood he now faces arrest if he lands in the Britain.
The actor, who was killed off from the ITV soap in 2005, says he has never met or heard of the female fan, now aged 57, and her claims are “not true”.
Three Corrie stars – Bill Roache, Michael Le Vell, 49, who plays mechanic Kevin Webster and Andrew Lancel, 43, who played villain Frank Foster – have been cleared of sex abuse charges in the past year.
A police spokeswoman said: “Lancashire Constabulary did write to a 71-year-old US citizen in relation to a complaint of sexual assault dating back to the 1960s.
"The male has so far declined to return.”
