I know on good authority that the accuser, known as C2, told journalists that this UK footage was available and that it was exactly the same as the Australian production.

The journalists even said they would...

Was this now how the women really recalled the scene playing out?

Four years later?

Or were their memories assisted by watching this UK production?

A production whose bed scene bore no resemblance to the Australian version.

In 2017, when definitive statements of assault were made to the press, it seemed that a very different witness appeared in court two years later.

For in court, Craig's accuser couldn't recall where in the scene the alleged touch occurred.

nor could she recall at what point of the tour the touch occurred.

In fact, she could barely remember the scene at all, even though she had performed the role at least 150 times.

Having completed her evidence in chief, she was cross-examined by Mr Littlemore, where she continued to claim that she could not recall.

He took her through the scene line by line, but she could not recall, not the script, not the actions, nothing.

And so Mr. Littlemore played her archival footage of the Rocky Horror Show bed scene from 2014.

And this is where her story started to unravel.

She was asked if playing the Australian archival footage brought the scene back to her, to which she replied, yes.

Having seen the footage, she was then asked if she could do her best to say where a touch occurred.

As the archival footage showed, Frank only disappeared from audience view by going under the bed covers a total of two times, whilst the Janet character was still in view of the audience.

So did C1 choose the first moment of the scene after Frank had kissed her on the neck and arm and then disappeared out of sight?

No, she did not.

And why not?
