About this listen

In this episode, listeners are taken backstage of the 2014 Rocky Horror Show, examining the culture behind the curtain and the community standards and accepted practices of the time. The episode also explores what criminal charges mean in legal terms, including the threshold police must meet, and the methods and evidence required before charges can be laid. Vanessa invites listeners to consider whether those who go to the press before approaching police should be granted anonymity and court protections, and, as the title suggests, examines the courtroom processes that reduce a person to the court-imposed label of The Accused Man.


Watch the Unfiltered companion interview in which Craig McLachlan sits down with journalist Michael Cain to go beyond the headlines and unpack the story behind Not Guilty: The Craig McLachlan Case Podcast.

There is no doubt to the honesty and calm measured approach Vanessa takes in this amazing podcast - horrifying to hear the actual witch hunt and media feeding frenzy …. Highly recommend -

Highlights the injustice of the court magistrate , prosecution and their bias in the case . Feel very sorry that Craig has been treated so unfairly and that his career has been gravely affected even though he was acquitted of all charges
