A former government adviser raped a colleague inside a ministerial office, a judge has ruled in a defamation case in Australia. Bruce Lehrmann was accused of raping Brittany Higgins at Parliament House in Canberra in March 2019, after they had both been out drinking and clubbing with colleagues.
Justice Lee said in his ruling: 'I am satisfied that it is more likely than not that Mr Lehrmann's state of mind was such that he was so intent upon gratification to be indifferent to Ms Higgins' consent and hence went ahead with sexual intercourse without caring whether she consented.' The Network Ten interview with Ms Higgins did not name Mr Lehrmann, but the judge found he had been identified based on other details provided on the programme.
