Channel 10 lawyer Justin Quill has unleashed on Bruce Lehrmann with a brutal piece of advice after a judge found that the former political staffer raped Brittany Higgins.
Mr Lehrmann sued Network Ten and Wilkinson for defamation over a February 2021 report on The Project in which Ms Higgins claimed she was raped by her colleague Lehrmann in a Parliament House office in 2019.
Justice Michael Lee found Mr Lehrmann had sex with Ms Higgins and was indifferent to whether a drunk Brittany Higgins consented or not before he raped her in a minister’s office.
Justice Lee ruled in favour of Ten when he handed down his verdict on Monday.
Outside court afterwards, Mr Quill described the judgement as a resounding win for Channel 10 and a dismal failure for Mr Lehrmann.
‘My advice for Mr Lehrmann given that he is studying law would be to maybe find another course to study at university,’ he said.
Mr Quill claimed that Mr Lehrmann took Channel 10 to court for two reasons- to make money and reinvent history.
‘He wanted people to believe his version of events and he failed in both endeavours,’ he added.
