Nazir Afzal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West, said:
"Greater Manchester Police has investigated an allegation of sexual assault by Neville Neville in March 2013. I have reviewed all the evidence that they have gathered and have authorised the police to charge him with one count of sexual assault by penetration against a 46-year-old woman.
"He has been bailed to appear at Bury and Rochdale Magistrates' Court on 12 June 2013.
"This decision is made in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors. I have concluded that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that it is in the public interest to prosecute this case.
"With criminal proceedings now underway, I would like to stress the importance of nothing being placed in the public domain that could prejudice a future trial. For these reasons, we will not be commenting further about the case at this time."
