Robertson was violent with a third female, who was a fellow actor at the time.<\/p>\n
The witness recalled an argument in 2014 where Robertson “lunged” at her.<\/p>\n
She said she was “cowering” with her hands and arms over her head, adding: “I thought he was going to hit me.”<\/p>\n
The woman described how Robertson had hounded her with an “obsessive” amount of calls and voicemails, and sent her Graze snack boxes to theatres where she was performing.<\/p>\n
Robertson was convicted of one assault charge involving this woman and cleared of another.<\/p>\n
He was further guilty of threatening and abusive behaviour towards her.<\/p>\n
Robertson was finally found not guilty of engaging in abusive behaviour with a fourth woman.<\/p>\n
During closing speeches, Keenan said the jury had heard “strong and overwhelming” accounts from the women about their experiences with the actor.<\/p>\n
He said there was a “common theme” of Robertson treating the women in a “controlling, humiliating and demeaning” way.<\/p>\n
Keenan said Robertson’s own evidence at the trial had been “wholly incredible and unreliable”.<\/p>\n
Robertson told jurors he was “no angel”, but denied all the charges against him.<\/p>\n
Gary Allan KC, defending, said Robertson had been “frozen out by the acting profession” since the accusations emerged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robertson was violent with a third female, who was a fellow actor at the time.
