Brittany Higgins reported a rape at Parliament House in March 2019 to her father in February 2020.

Justice Michael Lee ruled against Bruce Lehrmann in a lawsuit, affirming that he raped Ms. Higgins.

The judge evaluated Ms. Higgins' behavior post-assault and found it aligned with someone processing such trauma.

Ms. Higgins' accounts were corroborated by disclosures to her boss's chief of staff and a Queensland MP.

Her credibility was bolstered by the consistency of her actions and emotions with those of a sexual assault victim.
