...Gordon posted a Link up there ^^^^^ which sets out some of the facts, allegedly.
I checked Gordon's link, but couldn't find any "facts"
either confirming or denying the allegations made
against Lehrmann...
The pertinent bits.
After socialising and drinking with friends, she moved to a second venue, an adult entertainment venue called The Vault.
While attending that venue, police
allege the woman drank more alcohol before meeting Mr Lehrmann, who introduced himself as “Bryce”.
Police further
allege that the woman later agreed to get in a taxi with him to his friend’s house, where she got into bed with him and later fell asleep while kissing him.
The police will
allege that Mr Lehrmann was not wearing a condom and told the woman they had sex numerous times, and that he had ejaculated inside of her, but that she had no recollections of this.
Police will
allege the woman told Mr Lehrmann she needed to get the “morning after” pill and that he agreed to take her to a chemist.
The woman and the accused then left the property in a farm ute to attend a chemist.
After visiting the chemist, police
allege she asked Mr Lehrmann take her home and he stopped off at McDonald’s on the way.
During the following week she exchanged messages with him on Snapchat, where she noticed his Snapchat name was BruceEmery. Emery is Mr Lehrmann’s middle name.
Woman claims she recognised Mr Lehrmann from Google search
It is further understood that police will
allege the complainant was speaking to a friend’s mother about the Brittany Higgins case.
The complainant is
alleged to have then conducted an internet search on her phone for “Brittany Higgins rapist”.
Allegations
can’t transform into "facts" unless there's
supporting evidence. Stacking allegation upon allegation
simply means there're multiple allegations. It doesn't
mean one has the facts necessary to prove something true.
An allegation is a factual claim which
has yet to be
proven. Indictments and other instruments accusing
a person of committing a crime contain allegations
prosecutors have the burden of proving true through
evidence presented at a trial.
Until the truth of the allegations is proven in court,
those allegations remain nothing more than
unproven claims. An allegation generally triggers
an investigation to identify and gather evidence that
may then prove it factually accurate.
