Revision as of 05:33, 4 December 2022

Brittany Higgins is a former staffer for the Liberal Party of Australia and current media personality in Australia. Higgins came to prominence in 2021 after publicly alleging that she was raped in Parliament House, Canberra, in 2019.

Bruce Lehrmann was subsequently charged with and tried for the rape of Higgins. While it initially appeared that there would be a hung jury the matter was dismissed following misconduct by a juror. Initially a retrial was set down for February 2023. On 2 December 2022 the Director of Public Prosecutions for the Australian Capital Territory, Shane Drumgold, announced that the charges against Bruce Lehrmann would be withdrawn.[1] This appears to constitute a nolle prosequi.

On 3 December 2022 it was publicly disclosed that sensitive information was improperly disclosed to Bruce Lehrmann's defence team in October 2021 and that police had doubts about Higgin's credibility before Bruce Lehrmann was charged.[2][3][4][5]
