Brittany Higgins said the man, her coworker, assaulted her in the office of a former defense industry minister
The man who allegedly raped Brittany Higgins, a government employee, in Australia’s Parliament building has been charged with one count of sexual assault.Higgins, 26, came forward in February, sharing her account of how she went out to drinks with a coworker in March 2019, after which time he assaulted her in the office of a former defense industry minister. Higgins went to the police after the alleged attack occurred, but dropped the case because she feared losing her job.
Though the man will only have to answer for Higgins’s allegations in court—so far—hers are not the only ones he faces. After Higgins spoke out against the former government employee, so did three other women, who recounted similar experiences. One of them alleged that the man bought her several shots one evening, before bringing her back to his hotel room. The woman awoke half-dressed, with the man lying on top of her.
