Emmerdale's Charity Dingle to Report Dr Todd Blackmail and Assault to Police

Charity Dingle decides to tell the police that Dr Caitlin Todd blackmailed her and later sexually assaulted her. The blackmail involved false claims about the paternity of baby Leyla and escalated to demands of up to £100,000, prompting Charity to attempt a robbery of the Home Farm safe and steal £30,000 of products from a warehouse. Although the assault was reported, there was insufficient evidence to charge Todd, and he remained free.

In the latest ITVX‑released episode, Charity confides the full story to her husband Mackenzie Boyd, revealing the blackmail, the assault and the broader web of deceit. Mack reacts with shock and disappointment but urges her to go to the police. The storyline marks a turning point for the character as she seeks justice and attempts to heal from the abuse.
