Bruce Lehrmann loses defamation case (Watch)

Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson have won their landmark defamation case against Bruce Lehrmann, after Justice Michael Lee found, on the balance of probabilities, the former Liberal staffer r-ped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House in March 2019.

Justice Lee found Mr Lehrmann and Ms Higgins had been passionately kissing at a Canberra nightclub, before they returned to Parliament House and had s-x in the office of then-Defence Industries minister Linda Reynolds.

"I'm satisfied that it is more likely than not that Mr Lehrmann's state of mind was such that he was so intent upon gratification to be indifferent to Ms Higgins consenting," Justice Lee said.

Mr Lehrmann will not be awarded damages, and parties will return to court to determine legal costs.
