Abuse victim had “Prisoner obsession,” court told.

The alleged victim at the centre of an abuse case levelled at actress Maggie Kirkpatrick has been described as having a “Prisoner obsession.”

A friend of the witness, who cannot be named, told a court today, “I remember that she was a big fan of the show and watched it religiously and would often refer to what she’d seen in the show, different episodes.”

Detective Senior Constable Katherine Mitchell told the court the alleged victim told police she had been abused by Kirkpatrick at the actor’s Prahran home when she was 14, in the 1980s.

Kirkpatrick, 74, has denied two charges of indecent assault and one count of gross indecency.

The alleged victim’s husband told the court, “She told me that she’d been invited to a person’s house, a lady’s house, and that person was the nasty one on Prisoner.

“She just said that there were … some sexual things happened but she didn’t elaborate.”

The court was closed while the alleged victim gave evidence today.

Kirkpatrick, who did not address media today, has previously said she would fight the allegations after they were aired last month.

The hearing continues.
