Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann has failed in his defmation case against Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson. (ABC News)
The Federal Court has found, on the balance of probabilities, Bruce Lehrmann did rape Brittany Higgins at Parliament House in 2019.
Justice Michael Lee has found the pair did have sex in the office of Senator Linda Reynolds, that Ms Higgins did not consent, and that Mr Lehrmann was indifferent to whether she had consented.
Mr Lehrmann faced a criminal trial in the ACT Supreme Court in 2022, which collapsed without a verdict due to juror misconduct.
The civil judgement before the Federal Court stems from a defamation trial launched by Mr Lehrmann against Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson.
