FORMER female crew members of the popular television series Hey Dad! have told a court that its star Robert Hughes made them feel uncomfortable by sleeping naked on set.
Hughes, 65, has pleaded not guilty to 11 sexual and indecent assault charges stemming from allegations he abused five girls in the 1980s and 1990s.
During his trial on Thursday, crown witness and former costume designer Lauryn Jackson told Sydney's District Court that Hughes would often sleep between filming.
She said he asked her to come into his dressing room and "shake him" awake.
On occasions, Ms Jackson said he would be naked except for a sheet that was draped over his private parts.
At other times he would just be naked, she said.
Feeling uncomfortable, she said she eventually took to just knocking on his dressing room door and flinging it open.
When Hughes' lawyer Greg Walsh asked her if, as a costume designer, it wasn't routine to see actors and actresses undress, Ms Jackson replied that she had never seen anyone "totally naked".
"They have always given me the courtesy of having their underwear on."
"It looked like he was waiting for someone to walk in on him and see him naked. To me he did not appear to be asleep," Ms Jackson added later.
Charmaine Stubbs, who worked in wardrobe, told the court that in one instance Hughes looked at her and then "dropped his pants", exposing his penis.
When she asked "What are you doing?", Ms Stubbs said he looked at her, pulled his pants up and then walked away without saying anything.
Victoria Richards, who also worked in wardrobe, said she also walked in on a sleeping Hughes while he was naked.
"He wasn't very much liked on set?" Mr Walsh asked Ms Richards.
"Unfortunately no," she said, adding: "I found that over the years that I was there, by the end, definitely that was the case".
"It's not that I didn't warm to him, I just felt uncomfortable around him," she said.
The trial continues.
