Prosecutors have dropped charges against 27-year-old Bruce Lehrmann who was accused of allegedly raping former Liberal Party staffer Brittany Higgins at the Parliament House in March 2019.
Shane Drumgold, the Australian Capital Territory [ACT] director of public prosecutions, said on Friday that the sexual assault charge against Mr Lehrmann would be dropped, due to an “unacceptable risk to the life of the complainant [Ms Higgins]”.
