"Parliament Rape Verdict: Accused Staffer Found Guilty in Blockbuster Trial"
A civil court in Australia has found that political staffer Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins inside Parliament House, dismissing his defamation case against Network 10. The judge ruled that Lehrmann had "deliberately lied" and was "indifferent" to Higgins' consent. The case, which has captivated the nation for years, triggered a cultural reckoning and a landmark review into the culture of parliament. Lehrmann will now be liable for millions of dollars in legal costs.
