Canberra, ACT – In the wake of the high-profile trial involving Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins, Lehrmann’s former girlfriend has spoken out about the media frenzy surrounding her missed calls the night of the alleged assault.
Lehrmann, who maintains his innocence, allegedly missed six calls from his girlfriend, Alexandra, between 2:16 am and 2:18 am on March 23rd, 2019, the night Ms. Higgins alleges the assault took place. These details were revealed in court documents outlining “agreed facts” between the prosecution and defense.
Alexandra, who has chosen to remain anonymous throughout the proceedings, offered a brief statement to reporters: “Look, it was a late night, and honestly, six missed calls isn’t exactly a newsflash. We were both young and busy at the time. It means nothing.”
Her comments come amidst speculation about Lehrmann’s whereabouts and activities during the timeframe of the alleged assault. The defense maintains that the phone calls are irrelevant and do not disprove Lehrmann’s version of events.
The trial, which captivated the nation and sparked a national conversation about sexual assault in Australian politics, ended abruptly in 2021 due to juror misconduct. Lehrmann has since launched defamation suits against several media outlets.
Court Finds in Favor of Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson in Lehrmann Defamation Case
Bruce Lehrmann has lost his defamation case against Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson in a highly anticipated verdict delivered today. Justice Michael Lee found that the reporting on a 2021 interview with Brittany Higgins, where she alleged rape by a colleague, was substantially accurate.
The judge ruled on the balance of probabilities, the lower civil standard of proof, that Lehrmann did rape Higgins in Parliament House in 2019. This comes after a lengthy and sensitive trial that dominated Australian news cycles. It’s important to note that this is not a criminal conviction, as Lehrmann’s criminal trial was discontinued in 2022 due to juror misconduct.
Lehrmann has consistently denied the allegations. However, Justice Lee found Brittany Higgins’ account more credible, ultimately siding with Network Ten’s defense. This verdict is a significant development in a case that has sparked national conversations about sexual assault, media reporting, and due process.
