Further evidence of the backstage culture in support of these headlines was given by another Rocky Horror Show cast member.

there has been much discussion on how Craig was supposed to have straddled his groin in C3's lap.

As Craig's barrister submitted, this allegation is seemingly impossible as the groin is the depression between the belly and thigh, i.e.

the front of his abdomen.

To have made contact with C3's crotch

Craig would have had to have laid face down across her thighs for his groin to have made any form of contact with her.

And further, how could Craig have straddled his own body or any part of it?

Note well, the magistrate did not accept in her rulings that C3 engaged in vampire kisses because she wasn't cross-examined on this.

Although a series of photographs showing C3 kissing people on the neck were tendered.

Again, I ask the question, should the Victorian police have laid charges against Craig based on the evidence that was presented to them?

Was there a strong chance of conviction?

I remind you for someone to be convicted, the prosecution must prove that the accused intended to act out an assault, knowing that the person was not consenting.

How could sitting on someone's lap in the Rocky Horror Show of 2014 be considered an assault when it was common practice within the entire cast?

When the kisses were eventually described as smacks, that acts like sitting on people's laps or lounging on people were part of the everyday culture of the show.

when C3, who made the allegation of lap-sitting, was herself photographed straddling Craig's thigh just weeks before the show ended, a photo that she posted on her social media.

And herein lies the danger.

The danger of information that is intentionally and conveniently left out.

The danger of not understanding the context of the community in which all these actors were a part.

For without context, the truth can be manipulated, distorted and used to paint a picture that is not nuanced.

A picture that doesn't display any shades of grey that needs to be included.
