Court shown videos of actor Craig McLachlan simulating sex act

A court has been shown lewd phone videos of Craig McLachlan simulating a sex act in the hearing of indecent assault allegations against the Rocky Horror actor.

The leading man says the videos, which include him sitting on a toilet, were part of a comical text exchange between him and one of his alleged victims.

The magistrate described the videos as silly and vulgar, and blocked their release to the public.

McLachlan has denied that he inappropriately hugged, kissed and touched four female actors on and off the stage.
