Former Liberal Party staffer Bruce Lehrmann has been committed to stand trial on two rape charges following two days of hearings into the reliability of the alleged victim’s evidence. The second day of a committal hearing for Lehrmann’s charges, that he allegedly raped a woman twice on the early hours of October 10, 2021, was held at Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Thursday.
“Not as this time, thank you, your honour,” Lehrmann said when asked if he wanted to say anything or enter a plea. Lehrmann’s bail was continued. Defence lawyers had mounted a weeks-long legal effort to maintain Lehrmann’s anonymity after Queensland changed its laws in October 2023 to no longer ban the publication of the names of people charged with certain sex offences before facing trial.
