He was then asked if she had said those words on other occasions.
And on how many occasions?
Whilst the show was in its early stages in January 2014, I recall sitting on the couch in Craig's dressing room when C1 presented herself at the dressing room door, as Craig described.
She stood in the doorway, eyebrows arched, and she proceeded to push her pubis forward in a lewd fashion whereby she looked down, pointed at her vagina and asked us the following question.
Can you see my slit through my underpants?
I had known C1 for some time and I knew she pushed boundaries with her comments, but here is a disclaimer.
This sort of language was and is commonplace in theatre.
From that moment on, her slit, as she called it, became one of the many running gags that existed backstage on the show, right through to the end of Melbourne.
Did Craig partake?
When someone asks you a question like that, how would you respond?
Well, in Craig's case, it was with humour.
C1 also asked other male cast members if they could see her vag or her slit through her underwear.
A number of the Rocky Horror Show cast, who were called as prosecution witnesses, gave evidence in court supporting this fact.
Yet C1's evidence is that Craig started this joke and it began in Melbourne, six months after the Brisbane season.
Evidence the magistrate preferred.
But here comes the bombshell.
When C1 was interviewed by the press for the first time, there was no mention at all of an indecent assault or a touch to the vagina.
Oh, and what do you say to that?
