AS NEW WOMEN SPEAK OUT... Craig McLachlan's BID TO CLEAR HIS NAME

Just days before his TV tell-all attempt to clear his name, accused actor Craig McLachlan was hit with fresh allegations of sexual misconduct.

In a document filed in the Supreme Court and released to the ABC last week, three Australian actresses detail the troublesome incidents they allegedly experienced while working alongside the 55-year old on various projects between 2008 and 2014.

NEW CLAIMS

While working as an extra on The Doctor Blake Mysteries in 2014, actress Tamzen Hayes claims she was sexually assaulted by Craig when she appeared in an episode as a corpse, and on a separate occasion, he gave her an unwanted, open-mouthed kiss when she was leaving the set.

“Hayes was in shock and didn’t know what to do. McLachlan pulled away a few seconds later when a crew member standing in the doorway yelled words to the effect of, ‘Craig, we need you back on set,’” the document states.
