Vahid Reza Adib, partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, faces serious charges including rape, deprivation of liberty, and sexual assault. Hes on bail but banned from contacting ten people, including the alleged victim. The assault allegedly occurred in March, and Adib is known for performing over twenty thousand obesity surgeries. His lawyer appeared in court this week, and the case is adjourned to July seventh. Palaszczuk stepped down as premier and MP last December, with no suggestion of her involvement.
