Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann has spoken for the first time since being named as the high profile man charged with two counts of rape in Toowoomba.

Mr Lehrmann was publicly named for the first time on October 26 as the man accused of raping a 28-year-woman after the pair met at a strip club in Toowoomba in October 2021.

He released his own statement, first reported by Sky News on Tuesday, following an intense legal battle to keep his name suppressed was lost in Queensland Supreme Court. The statement was made just hours before his rape charge was due for mention in Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Wednesday. Brittany Higgins released her own statement following the public naming of Bruce Lehrmann, in relation to the Toowoomba rape allegations.
