LEHRMANN V TENNation

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 15: Bruce Lehrmann emerges from court on April 15, 2024 in Sydney, Australia. Justice Michael Lee has ruled in favour of Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson in Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case. The case arose from allegations aired on 'The Project' news program, in which Brittany Higgins claimed she was raped by a colleague in Parliament House. Lehrmann, who denied any sexual contact with Ms Higgins, alleged defamation by the broadcast, despite not being explicitly named. The court found that Lehrmann had raped Brittany Higgins on the balance of probabilities. (Photo by Don Arnold/Getty Images)
