flag Bruce Lehrmann appeals to Australia’s High Court, challenging a 2023 ruling that he raped Brittany Higgins in 2019.

flag Bruce Lehrmann has appealed to Australia’s High Court, seeking to overturn a 2023 Federal Court ruling that found, on the balance of probabilities, he raped Brittany Higgins in 2019. flag He argues that trial judge Michael Lee compromised fairness by conducting independent research and relying on academic materials not presented as evidence. flag The Full Federal Court upheld the decision in 2024, affirming Lehrmann knew Higgins lacked consent. flag The High Court’s decision on whether to hear the appeal will determine if the case proceeds further, with broader implications for judicial conduct and the use of expert evidence in defamation and sexual assault cases.
