A girl who claims she was "regularly" raped by Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell said "silly things" when reporting the attacks to police, a court has heard.
Mr Le Vell, 48, who is on trial under his real name Michael Turner, denies 12 charges, including five of rape.
Defending, Alisdair Williamson accused the girl of telling "a little lie" when speaking to an officer about one rape.
The offences were allegedly committed between 2001 and 2010.
Mr Le Vell, of Hale, Greater Manchester, also faces three counts of indecent assault, two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity and two of sexual activity with a child.
The victim, who was giving evidence behind a screen at Manchester Crown Court, had previously claimed she told nobody about what happened during one attack.
But cross-examining, Mr Williamson said that was untrue and she had "told lots of girls" about it.
The girl then said she had spoken to "two friends because they saw me crying".
'Special group'Mr Williamson said the police had come to see the girl because she "told people and you told the officer a little lie".
"You told him you had not told the girls, they had just guessed," he said.
The girl denied lying and added that a subsequent claim by Mr Williamson that she had put specific details of the times of a rape into her account to make it "more convincing" was also untrue.
"It didn't happen," Mr Williamson said but the girl replied "it did".
The defence lawyer said the girl had attended a motivational speech by a woman who had been raped at an early age and went onto rebuild her life.
He said the girl had come back from the talk "excited" and told her family she was "part of a special group now", which a relative had said was "weird".
"Is that what some of this is about? You heard this lady talking about how she was raped when she was very young and how she went on and became a model?" he said.
"You want to become an actress or a dancer, is that right?"
The girl denied being excited by the woman's speech. She also said she no longer wanted to be an actor or a dancer.
The case continues.
