EXCLUSIVE
Police included unverified claims that Brittany Higgins had sex “on multiple occasions” with another man at Parliament House in the same office she alleged she was raped in, according to a document that questioned her credibility.
The 64-page document – tendered to the inquiry into the prosecution of former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann – was marked ‘Protected: Sensitive: Legal’ and prepared by the AFP to help guide the decision of whether or not to prosecute but was never canvassed at the trial of Mr Lehrmann.
Mr Lehrmann maintains his innocence and was never convicted over the allegation.
In a section with the heading ‘other factors’ when assessing Ms Higgins’ credibility, the AFP document states that a Liberal staffer told them that Ms Higgins and another man had sex on multiple occasions “in the same office to which she is stating she was sexually assaulted.”
News.com.au has chosen not to name the Liberal staffer or the person who police alleged had sex with Ms Higgins in Defence Industry Minister Linda Reynolds’ office. This person was also a Liberal staffer
