British soap opera star Ben Freeman has been arrested and charged with raping a woman while on vacation in Barbados, police said Sunday. In a statement, the Royal Barbados Police Force said Freeman was accused by a British woman of sexually assaulting her while the 26-year-old actor was on holiday at the Almond Beach Village resort on the tropical island’s northern coast. Police did not release the woman’s identity or age or any other details, including when the alleged attack occurred and when Freeman was arrested. Freeman, who plays Scott Windsor in the British soap "Emmerdale," was granted US$10,000 (C7,550) bail and was due to appear in court Tuesday, the statement said. He had to surrender his travel documents.
