flag Alan Lehrmann appeals his 2025 conviction for non-consensual sex, claiming the ruling used outdated views on sexual assault.

flag In 2026, former media personality Alan Lehrmann has applied for special leave to appeal his 2025 conviction in Australia’s High Court, challenging a ruling that he knew Brittany Higgins did not consent to sex but proceeded anyway. flag The lower court found he was not merely reckless but actually aware of her lack of consent, a key legal distinction. flag His appeal, backed by legal experts, argues the ruling relied on outdated views about sexual assault, though Network 10 and Lisa Wilkinson have dismissed it as baseless. flag The High Court has not yet decided whether to hear the case. flag Support services remain available for survivors of sexual violence.
