Over the last few months, you've likely seen headlines that referred to a ‘high-profile man’ who’d been charged with rape in the Queensland city of Toowoomba. We now know that man to be Bruce Lehrmann, who had previously been accused of rape by fellow political staffer Brittany Higgins. Lehrmann has always denied those allegations and hasn’t entered a plea in the Toowoomba case. In today’s deep dive we’ll explain why Lehrmann couldn't be named before now, and what’s likely to happen next.
