SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian inquiry said in a report on Monday that it had found serious misconduct by a public prosecutor in connection with the trial of a former political staffer accused of raping a colleague in Parliament House.
Brittany Higgins, an ex-staffer for former defence industry minister Linda Reynolds, went public in 2021 with the accusation that she had been sexually assaulted by Bruce Lehrmann in a ministerial office at Parliament House in March 2019.
