Bruce Lehrmann can be named as the high-profile man charged with rape in Queensland earlier this year, after he lost a bid to keep his identity secret. Former federal Liberal Party staffer Lehrmann is facing two charges of raping a woman in Toowoomba, west of Brisbane, in October 2021. He was charged in January, but could not be named due to Queensland laws preventing the identification of people charged with rape until they are committed to stand trial.
Crown prosecutor Nicole Friedewald said the woman who had filed a criminal complaint wanted the man named by media outlets. “I’d highlight that has taken an active position in this matter and instructed my office that she does wish for the to be named,” Friedewald said. “It’s not the case that she has taken a neutral position or opposed it.
