BREAKING: Brittany Higgins has launched an attack against the attitudes of the police who investigated her rape claim, saying they were disgraced by their own conduct rather than the accusations of the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions.
about the toll the abandoned Lehrmann case and the subsequent inquiry had on police, Higgins reignited a range of accusations against the behaviour of detectives that were canvassed in the probe, including making a folder of “unfounded claims” to discredit her.
Drumgold, who resigned last week after damning findings against his own conduct in the case, sparked the inquiry after writing to ACT Chief Police Officer Neil Gaughan in November about his belief that detectives were pressuring him against prosecuting Lehrmann. The Moller report, which was tendered to the inquiry, contained police opinions that Higgins was an evasive and manipulative witness, which Drumgold had likened to police judging a complainant for wearing a mini-skirt.
