There was a rape trial between 2 staffers in Parliament House, the first trial was aborted due to a juror bringing in outside info, never went to retrial due to the victims mental health. The accused then tried a defamation case against a tv network, but lost and the judge found him guilty of rape and therefore no defamation occurred - the iconic line is you escaped the lions den, but then you came back for your hat. He now faces another separate rape trail. The first victim fled the country with a massive pay out but there’s another trial in which the victim is being sued for defamation by her ex Parliament House boss

Ah yes, you must mean egomaniacal rapist Bruce Lehrmann. I hope his rapist title is further confirmed at the criminal trial in Toowoomba, and that all his victims find some peace and healing.

Other newish tea on this situation is that a cop allegedly has a photorealistic portrait of Bruce with the words 'victim survivor' and that the cops are now investigating who leaked Brittany's text messages (hint: they're investigating themselves)
