There was no kissing down breasts and stomach.

There was certainly no holding of breasts in the Australian production, but it was still naughty and riotously funny and the audiences lapped it up.

When the press originally published allegations, they salaciously labelled this bed scene a sex scene.

Make no mistake, this is not a sex scene in the way they wanted their readers to believe.

Far from it.

In the article that was published in January of 2018, it was reported that a cast member who had to perform a sex scene with McLaughlin was horrified when he went off script.

The scene saw in a vertical bed covered by a sheet where she was visible to the audience only from the shoulders up.

Now let's take a step to the right, to December 2017, two years earlier.

C1 and an ABC journalist sit at a computer and scroll through some online footage of the Rocky Horror Show.

They stop and start, eventually pausing on a one-second frame of Frank and Janet in the bed scene.

They play it in slow motion and stop it on the moment Frank disappears from view.

C1 points at the clip and says, It happened here.

The clip in question shows C1 and Craig standing next to each other, facing out front towards the audience, while standing in the upright bed set.

C1's hands are resting on the top of the bed sheet, as her evidence suggested was the case.

Craig stands to her left, also facing front, before we see him crouch down and disappear beneath the covers right next to her.

Although not facing each other, they are in close proximity to each other.

This clip was published online in slow motion and used by the ABC and various other publications to illustrate the moment of the alleged assault.

But what has not been disclosed before now is this.

The bed scene clip the journalists and C1 viewed to back up the allegation was not a part of the 2014 Rocky Horror Show.

In fact, this direction and blocking of the scene in the clip never occurred in the actual stage production.
