Ruling for McLachlan

A JUDGE has declined to grant suppression orders relating to three people who allege they were indecently assaulted by actor Craig McLachlan.

The 52-year-old Gold Logie winner is suing Fairfax Media, the ABC and actress Christie Whelan Browne over articles and reports alleging he bullied and indecently assaulted her and two other female cast members during a 2014 production of The Rocky Horror Show. The defence last week sought suppression orders in relation to three people, which were denied yesterday by Justice Lucy McCallum.
