## Resource

Bruce Lehrmann, facing rape charges, tried to block a damning documentary Silenced—featuring Brittany Higgins and exposing how defamation laws silence survivors—from airing, claiming it could sway his trial. But Queensland Judge Deborah Richards slammed his request, calling it an abuse of process and ruling the footage irrelevant to his defense. The film, a post-MeToo exposé highlighting legal systems that harm survivors, includes interviews with Higgins and lawyer Jennifer Robinson. With prior media coverage already out there, the judge said Lehrmann’s defense had no need for the footage now. The filmmakers are now seeking legal costs from Lehrmann.
