In scenes set to air on the ITV soap next week, Sarah-Louise (played by Tina O'Brien) will call the authorities to report Nathan (Christopher Harper).
She will tell the police everything she knows about the groomer and his sex ring, involving her beloved teenage daughter Bethany (Lucy Fallon).
Will Nathan's sick sex ring finally be exposed? Will Nathan and his friends finally go down for exploiting vulnerable young girls for sex?
Although Sarah-Louise appeared to have accepted her daughter's decision to marry Nathan, she is still keeping a watchful eye on the youngster in the hope that the romance will eventually fizzle out.
The grooming plot has been playing out for some time and pictures from the set of Coronation Street recently suggested that Bethany had plucked up the courage to report Nathan to the police.
In the images, Bethany and her friend Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) were seen going down to the local police station in what appeared to be a bid to confess all.

However, her plans seemed to have been thwarted by Nathan's friend Neil Clifton (Ben Cartwright), who is an officer and has also previously raped Bethany.
The photos come amid news that the sex ring storyline will turn violent as Bethany is set to stab her mum Sarah's boyfriend Gary Windass (Mikey North) in a drunken rage.

Will Nathan Curtis and his sex ring finally be exposed?
The 29-year-old actor said in a recent interview: “I think the way he’s involved is obvious. He [David] finds out that something has been going on with Bethany… and he acts in a way that David sometimes does.”
"When asked about some of the scenes being particularly “difficult” to watch, Jack went on: “Well yes, that’s the idea of the storyline. If a girl is getting groomed by a man, it’s not going to be Mary Poppins, is it?"
These scenes are set to air on Monday, May 22 in the first episode from the double bill.
Coronation Street continues on ITV on tomorrow night at 7.30pm.
