Bruce Lehrmann claimed his reputation was ruined by a Network Ten interview and sought significant damages. Today, a federal court judge declared that, on the balance of probabilities, Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins.

Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson has failed, with a federal court judge finding that, on the balance of probabilities, Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House.

" Higgins appeared in an interview on Ten's current affairs program, The Project, in early 2021 to allege she had been raped by a former colleague in Parliament House in March 2019. It was six months later, in August 2021, that Lehrmann was named as the man accused of raping Higgins. Prosecutors ultimately aborted the criminal trial against Lehrmann for the alleged rape of Higgins, due to serious concerns about Higgins' mental health.
