Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann to stand trial on two counts of rape in Toowoomba. Allegations date back to October 2021.

Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann, aged 29, is set to face trial on two counts of rape in Toowoomba, stemming from incidents in October 2021. The committal hearing revealed shocking details as the complainant accused Lehrmann of assaulting her twice in the early hours of October 10. Magistrate Marc Howden ruled there was enough evidence to proceed to trial by jury or judge alone, despite Lehrmann not appearing in person.

The woman accusing Lehrmann reported being passed out and awakening to the alleged assaults. She recalls Lehrmann uttering four words during the non-consensual acts, adding to the gravity of the charges. The trial's revelations have sparked significant public interest and raised questions about accountability in such cases.

It's crucial to note that the Toowoomba Magistrates Court reconvened to decide on Lehrmann's fate, highlighting the importance of legal processes in cases of this nature. The lack of information surrounding the charges and Lehrmann's absence from the court proceedings further intensify the intrigue surrounding this trial, leaving many eager for updates on the legal proceedings.
