Network Ten is requesting that Bruce Lehrmann pay $200,000 in security against the cost of his appeal. The network has asked the court to dismiss Lehrmann's appeal if he fails to comply with this order. In April, Justice Michael Lee ruled that Lehrmann was not defamed by Lisa Wilkinson and Network Ten in relation to an interview with Brittany Higgins on The Project. During the interview, Higgins alleged that she was raped by a staffer. Justice Lee found that Lehrmann had raped Higgins on a minister's couch in Parliament House in 2019.

Police are considering reopening an investigation into TV sex therapist Michael Lousada after a civil court ruled in favor of a woman who accused him of raping her during a session. The Metropolitan Police will meet with the woman, Ella Janneh, who was awarded £217,000 in damages at the high court in London. The court found that the alleged rape had caused her complex post-traumatic stress disorder. Scotland Yard is now reviewing the case to determine if criminal charges should be pursued against Lousada.
