Two women have made separate reports to Victorian police about the behaviour of actor Craig McLachlan during the 2014 Gordon Frost Organisation production of The Rocky Horror Show. A joint investigation by the ABC and Fairfax Media has revealed that three actors in the production have claimed McLachlan indecently assaulted, intimidated and harassed them both on and off stage during the production, which is currently enjoying a return season (with McLachlan again in the role of Frank N Furter) at the Adelaide Festival Centre before it travels to Brisbane and Perth.
