But there wasn't.

Not one of the other women could support this.

There was a catch-up that took place post-Rocky Horror Show between the first understudy and C2 where they conceded that neither of them thought enough of any personal grievance against Craig to want to take anything further.

Yet the conclusion the magistrate drew from these post-show meetings was this.

In drawing her conclusion, I ask what the magistrate drew upon.

Where is the evidence that the women were trying to do something about it?

How can the magistrate believe that an honest account was given by C3 when it is blatantly apparent that none of her claims stacked up?

The question has to be asked, is the ruling of brave and honest fair?

And what of the reporting of the accuser's complaints against Craig McLaughlin when the press published that complaints had been made by these women but had not been heard?

C1 claimed she told John Frost, the producer of the Rocky Horror Show, and the resident director about an assault, a face grab.

But she didn't.

This was proven in court.

C1 claimed she told the stage manager about an assault, but she didn't.

Again, this was proven in court.

C3 claimed she complained to the head crew member about seeing an ankle tickle, but she didn't.

This was proven in court.

C2 claimed she told her husband, but she didn't.

This again was proven in court.

Not one of the women made a complaint about sexual harassment or indecent assault to anyone at the time or after, not until the Weinstein news broke and Me Too was in full swing.

Brave and honest?
