There's your problem. Your bias is 26 millimeters. That's over an inch, which means that anything within one inch (such as the towel near her lower leg) will suddenly "disappear" from the AO calculation.
In your render, as her leg geometry approaches the towel, the AO gets stronger and stronger, and then suddenly goes to 0 at 26 mm. So the bottom 26mm of her leg is not shadowed at all - suddenly it gets bright again.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
