The former political staffer is alleged to have raped a woman weeks after he first appeared in court on unrelated charges he raped Brittany Higgins.
Former federal Liberal Party staffer Bruce Lehrmann can be identified as the high-profile man charged with raping a woman in Toowoomba in October 2021.
It was in November 2021 that the woman in Toowoomba made a complaint about the alleged rape, telling police she had read about Lehrmann online in the weeks after the incident. She told police they initially had consensual sex but that Lehrmann later removed a condom without her permission and raped her twice.
The Toowoomba matter has been heard in local court on several occasions since January this year, when Lehrmann was charged. During early proceedings, prosecutors sought to examine 19 months of phone data from the complainant from before and after the alleged offence. Prosecutor Nicole Friedewald said the phone data ran to “many thousands of pages”.
