Even in Craig's evidence, he addressed the allegation of this ludicrous and impossible claim that he had hid behind a door.

So how did the magistrate interpret that evidence being he stood behind the door, not that he was hidden?

And what of the allegations C2 made of heinous assaults against her best friend, the first understudy?

Her claims that the first understudy had told her that Craig had kissed her vagina on stage and had tried to get into the shower with her naked and wet.

Allegations she told the court she hadn't told the ABC in her initial interviews.

But when faced with recorded evidence, she had to concede she had.

Of her claims Craig had a semi-erect penis, which was only given in her third police statement, when she had to admit in court, she wasn't certain.

And what of the first understudy, who denied any such assaults occurred, that these allegations were simply lies?

And what of the First Understudy's false evidence regarding the email she had sent Craig, where she spoke of it being such a pleasure to work with him and that she had hoped to work with him again in the future?

You will recall she said she had composed the email at the end of 2014, knowing that she would be working with him again in 2015, making sure she kept on the good side of Craig McLachlan.

But that wasn't the case.

The email was composed in 2015, after the second tour, at a time when there was no future work with Craig whatsoever.

And what of C1 in her initial interview with the ABC, saying that Craig drew in the air offstage, which became indecent assault in the second interview, now becoming a touch to her labia onstage?

and of C1's claims that in the bed scene her hands were directed to rest on the set, that Craig kissed down her body, when in fact there was no moment her hands were ever directed to sit on the set, and that her back was facing him, that she had turned away from Craig before he ever disappeared out of sight from the audience.

that C1 couldn't remember holding a fake leg in the scene, a scene she had performed at least 150 times.

And what of C3's attempts to give evidence that Craig had tickled the first understudy, when in fact she did not ever see Craig tickle the first understudy?

And further, C3's commentary about the bullying she experienced at the hands of C1, although she had never revealed that to the press or the police.

And what of the evidence that was mentioned by C3 during the case and indeed published by media back in 2018, that an alleged dressing room meeting had occurred between her, the first understudy, C2 and another unnamed cast member on the final week of the production of the 2014 Rocky Horror Show?

In court, C3 gave evidence that she had invited three female cast members to her room for a meeting to discuss Craig, that the first understudy, C2, and another cast member had attended.

She claimed that these women confirmed that they too had been on the receiving end of unwanted physical conduct from the accused man.
