Former Liberal Party political staffer Bruce Lehrmann, found by a civil court judge to have raped Brittany Higgins, today faced a committal hearing in the Toowoomba Magistrates Court on two rape charges related to a different woman in October 2021.
A criminal trial in 2022 for the rape was later aborted and the charge against him dropped. Mr. Lehrmann appealed the finding in a defamation trial, which was unsuccessful.
