Six months later, in May 2020, this attempted indecent assault charge was thrown out of court by the magistrate who ruled the following.

Back in January 2018, the journalists published this as Craig having created an unscripted moment on stage.

Perhaps if the police or journalists had asked C2, or anyone from the production for that matter,

For a copy of the archival video of the show, it would have shown that the direction between Frankenfurter, played by Craig, and this ensemble character in this moment of the show had been exactly the same from the beginning of the tour right through to the end.

In fact, the same direction is evident in the 2015 Rocky Horror Show tour.

Frank would approach C2's character.

He would engage with her in a brief moment, all the while singing his big goodbye song.

His direction was to interact with her.

He may touch her forehead with his head or give her a gentle touch on the face with his hand.

Seconds later, he would walk to centre stage to take position for the next lighting cue, all over and done with within seconds.

But they didn't.

Perhaps they could have asked the director of the Rocky Horror Show or the choreographer or the resident director or the stage manager about this scene.

But they didn't.

And what of C2's husband?

If we go back to the requirements of prosecuting, would the evidence of her husband contribute to a likely outcome of a guilty verdict?

An incident he could barely recall or even describe in any detail.

Did the police truly investigate his account?

Why would a prosecutor sign off on charges like this when the likelihood of a conviction would appear to be zero?

The next question I ask is this.

Did the police consider C2's ambiguities and inconsistencies in relation to the other charges?
