Yes, We Can Now Say Bruce Lehrmann Is A Rapist

Trigger warning: This episode speaks of sexual assault, please take care when listening. 

"Mr Lehrmann raped Ms Higgins." Those were the words spoken by Justice Michael Lee on Monday afternoon as he handed down his verdict in Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson. 

It's a verdict we had been waiting to hear since the trial wrapped up late last year after 22 days of evidence. 

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at what happens now that Justice Lee has found Brittany Higgins was raped by Bruce Lehrmann in 2019 at Parliament House.
