In the final instalment of Season 2 of Unfiltered, Vanessa continues with the allegations and criminal charges Craig McLachlan faced in relation to his former friend and Rocky Horror Show castmate, known as C1.
How did this cast member go from sending affectionate text messages to making devastating front-page allegations? How did years of friendly communication between Craig McLachlan and C1 unravel into accusations that would alter lives forever?
Michael Cain takes Craig through the final charge of which he was found not guilty, exploring how and why these allegations made it into a courtroom at all — particularly when the same accuser had texted Craig just weeks after the 2014 Rocky Horror Show tour had ended to say, “You were like a brother to me.”
At the height of the #MeToo movement, with the allegations against Harvey Weinstein dominating headlines, the 2018 Rocky Horror Show cast announced without any of Craig’s accusers securing roles, and The Doctor Blake Mysteriesnewly announced for Seven Network, the timing raises serious questions.
Was it merely coincidence — or was there motive?
In this extraordinary final episode of the season, Unfiltered invites listeners to consider the circumstances, the timing, and unreported evidence surrounding allegations that changed lives forever.
