Vanessa Scammell

She verbally spoke of how she was going to make Craig pay.

Note well, this was just months before the initial allegations were made to the press.

Further, this same cast member spoke about his personal relationship with C2.

In summing up this cast member's evidence, we go to the magistrate's ruling, number 243.

And thus a pattern emerges.

There was never such a ruling made by the magistrate to anyone who supported the complainant's evidence.

Yet anyone who opposed the women or gave strong evidence in support of Craig, or indeed Craig himself, were described as hyperbolic, guilty of displaying adulation, egocentric, self-serving or not credible, just to name a few.

Amongst the criminal charges that were laid against Craig, there were other serious claims C2 alleged had occurred.

These claims were mentioned to both journalists and police, many of them published and alluded to in the initial email sent to Craig by journalists.

When the first interview with C2 was undertaken with the journalists back in December of 2017, this is the conversation that transpired.

Oh, oh, God.

And then this.

Oh, no.

And this is while she's on stage?

On the basis of those assertions to police and journalists, C2 was cross-examined by Mr Littlemore and in court she swore that her best friend in the show had made that very complaint to her.

She adamantly related what must have been two terrifying assaults, if they really happened.

But they didn't.

In court, Craig recalls Mr Littlemore played a section of the interview C2 had undertaken with the journalists that was recorded back in 2017 before the story was released.

After C2 heard her own voice making these allegations, she was asked... Do you say that... The first understudy, TFU... Made those allegations to you?

But that's when I was meaning.
