Former peers of the man at the centre of Brittany Higgins’ rape claims have described him as a “real lad’s lad”, but now his world is falling apart.

It is understood he admitted himself to Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, seeking psychiatric care, shortly after the story broke last week., former employers, colleagues, and university peers of the man, who has worked for a large corporation in Sydney since July 2020, claim he was an ambitious, self-important and “a real lad’s lad”, but that they were shocked by the accusations.

Liberal party staffer Brittany Higgins is understood to be making a formal complaint to police on Wednesday.Ms Higgins told news.com.au the man was a “rising star” within the Liberal Party at the time of her alleged assault. He had been working for the Coalition for four years. “He was not a nice person overall, he didn’t work hard, he just wanted … all the praise for doing pretty much nothing. A real lad’s lad,” the“He just thought more of himself than any of us did, he did literally nothing, just showed up for the drinking, the socialising.”

Too much boost in parliament house to many drinking sessions party hard then regrets next day must be r e

Diddums

What just because he is Blakey bloke he is allowed to get away with it or will he just say he had a mental episode he needs to control the prick within the prick

Usually 3 reasons to suppress the ID of an alleged offender. 1) protect victim’s ID (victim came forward) 2) prevent trial bias (not a George Pell multi-trial scenario) and 3) protect the reputation of a potentially innocent alleged offender.

Why is his 'turmoil' suddenly newsworthy?

If he is guilty then fair.....

If the accused turns out to be a 'protected' member of a well connected Liberal family member or donor) then what does that really say about the Liberals. The answer is glaringly obvious. Now is the time for all to speak up about what they know about the alleged perpetrator.

Seriously he sounds like more of a serial rapist, but your making it out he's a nice guy... WOW

His friends are part of the “boys will be boys” club. Not acceptable in 2021. How do they think the 4 women he raped feel about his world falling apart? nosympathyforrapists

Fire your sub editor.

Lad's lad. That's code for 'alleged rapist' is it?

“Lad”

No hard feeling to what he did to his victims, made you bed now lay in it.

Me too strikes again

Karma gets “real Lad’s Lad”eventually!👏👏👏

Oh my heart fucking bleeds for the prick. Maybe he should have thought of that before raping women.

His Life is falling apart His life............what about Ms Higgins life what about the other woman's life Did he even THINK for 1 second what it would do to their lives. A shocking way to write the beginning. His life is falling apart like we should somehow feel sorry.

Too bad, how sad. Women should be safe , but in fact they need to make sure they keep safe.

Cry me a river.

Only another man could’ve written this.. The smiling photo of ONE of his victims and HIS world is falling apart? You have got to be joking.. Shame on you!

Not a lads lad- just a rapist bastard.

He hasn’t even been proven guilty. I’d wait before making judgments. She might be making it up he may have done it. Don’t know 😂

Oh hell no, not this headline!! HIS WORLD is falling apart?!?! What about the lives he destroyed by his decision to rape. ThisisNotJournalism

Let this be a lesson for all you “lads lads’”and all who condone his actions and opinions!! A/holes. May you get everything you deserve 👏👏👏😡😡🥰🤮🤮🤮

I couldn’t give a rats about his turmoil or how good he is cultivating his relationships with other men. ThisisNotJournalism

Won’t anyone think of the poor rapists?!

Karma is a bitch. Unless her answer is fuck yes, assume she’s saying no.

He better be guilty or his life is ruined for nothing

So glad his peers chose 'real lad's lad' & not used 'real raping rapist' otherwise it would be rather damning. Could even paint a horrible picture, one that make his world collapse even more. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Good. He had choices and he chose to be a bastard.

Wears those fake eyelashes they use to flirt with men at drunk'n outings .. Wink !! Wink !!

His world would be A-OK if he wasn't sexually assaulting people --- allegedly.

Insult to Lads

Instead of calling him a “lad’s lad”, call it was it is - a criminal who grooms women then rapes or sexually harasses them.

We need names.

ok and ?

We Have ALL worked with guys like this. Totally up themselves with ego. I worked with a guy who slept around with every woman he could get into his panel van. Cheated on his wife .... pathetic. And rude.. no manners whatsoever.

I find the term 'a lad's lad' quite weird. Did he prefer lads?

Trial by Media circus. Why don't you people let the police do there job and then the courts without daily commentary which can only harm the formal process.

Convict him and throw him in jail asap... Can't have rapists running free.

“He was not a nice person overall, he didn’t work hard, he just wanted … all the praise for doing pretty much nothing. A real lad’s lad. He just thought more of himself than any of us did, he did literally nothing, just showed up for the drinking, the socialising.”

He can see it’s about to hit the fan for him once police knock on his door. My guess is he’s booked into hospital in order to get an early start on his temporary insanity plea.

‘Lad’s lad’ translated, is 1997 for misogynist-rapist in 2021 parlance. My bet would also be that he attended an expensive all-boys school and boasts of having connections. In prison, he could become a lag’s lad ....if you know what I mean 😢

Falling apart 😭😭😭 boo hoo... WeAreComingForYou BruceLehrmann

Whichever side of the political fence you sit on, wrong is wrong, and let’s not turn old sayings into something they’re not. I’m sure lad’s lad was not intended to mean that rape is cool. Get him investigated and do what’s needed for the victims to get their justice!

So he must be guilty because he’s a lads lad. Trial by media

His world is falling apart.....GOOD!! I hope he never has a day of peace again. I hope his world burns down to the foundations, and those who he has harmed salt the earth on their way out.

We want a name!

So that means his Anglo Saxon if they using the word Lad.

It’s amazing how he checked himself into the hospital when it all came out so he could hide hmmmm

Ah news corp. Libs gave you a nice package by helping blackmail big tech so you helping them with their spin doctors. Good work all of you. Very good journalism. 🙄

What's that saying again....something about the chickens coming home to roost.

Basically a male employee is alleged to have raped a female colleague. Speculation before trial is human but in fairness he needs to have his day in court too

Oh that's a real shame his world is falling a part.

So, he’s basically just a misogynistic dickhead who thinks he’s gods gift to women then (also known as a dickhead who treats women like shit)

Truly gross headline. We don’t need to sympathise with him here. What’s the point of this? 🤡

NO.

I hope he gets what’s coming to him as much as the next person. But there is a lot of Judges and Jurors making judgment on this. Some with very questionable integrity.

No sympathy for that grub. His world falling apart! Give me strength. His victims will have to deal with his selfish/criminal actions for the rest of their lives.

Who employed the 'Lad' how did he keep his staffer job if he did nothing. Appears his duties were never monitored.

His world is falling apart Who cares. Obviously a real creep!!

A Lad's Lad went out decades ago. It is time that people realise that we are in 2021 and need to behave appropriately. His world is falling apart - how many worlds has he destroyed due to his own behaviour?

Delete this. The dudes been accused of multiple assaults now, he tore his own world down, not anybody else

I thought lad's lad meant something different, but here is the definition

2021 expose all Paedophiles and rapists!

Who is the 'Mystery Man'? Has there not been enough coverup for this privileged individual?

Is 'Lads lad' and 'boys will be boys' the same thing?

Oh no! He gave her a life sentence to deal with and ‘his world is falling apart’? 🙄 Grow up. Rapists should get a freaking death sentence

I get his world may be falling apart, there are a lot of alleged crimes - however, unless he has admitted to the actions he is accused of, then they remain allegations until proven in a court of law, i.e. innocent until proven guilty.

If you are working with female colleagues nowadays, do not touch any part of her body even her hands, arms; do not look at her face or breast for a few seconds, she will blackmail you by saying you “rape” her.

Funny how often 'lads lad's are rapists 🤔 almost like there's a connection there...

Why are you using that picture?

Name and expose him

He doesn’t look like a lads lad lol

Bad luck

well, maybe he shouldn't have 'allegedly' assaulted 4 women, and counting, in the first place. Zero sympathy. Oh and real men don't fucking rape, like how sick is that?

This is a stupid headline, that *his* world is falling apart.
