Brittany Higgins’ explosive document that her fiancé David Sharaz ‘gave half the Parliament House press gallery while she was passed out on Valium’ is revealed
Brittany Higgins told the Federal Court that she was supposed to go on a date with Parliament House security guard, Alex Woods, on the weekend of March 23, 2019.
Under cross-examination by Bruce Lehrmann’s barrister Steven Whybrow SC on Tuesday, Ms Higgins said she didn’t know Mr Woods was working at 8am the morning after she alleged she was raped.
‘We were meant to have a date that weekend but after being raped I couldn’t see anyone and I wasn’t coping,’ she said.
Mr Whybrow asked: ‘Are you making things up as you go along, Ms Higgins?’
Ms Higgins said she wasn’t making things up. She then agreed that she texted Mr Woods at about 11am that morning.
‘You didn’t ask him if he heard anything about you,’ Mr Whybrow said.
‘I don’t recall,’ she replied.
Mr Whybrow said Ms Higgins texted Mr Woods about five times on the Saturday she alleges she was raped.
Ms Higgins said Mr Woods had bought tickets to a comedy show, and she texted him to say she couldn’t go.
Mr Whybrow then asked her why Mr Woods’ name was mislabelled in her phone as her housemate, whose name was Alex Humphries.
‘Were you trying to hide Mr Woods’ existence?’ Mr Whybrow asked.
‘I wasn’t trying to hide anything,’ she replied.
She said the texts with Mr Woods were not in her phone because they were ‘archived’.
Mr WHybrow continued: ‘Understand that in relation to the people I’ve named I’m suggesting that you, ahead of giving your phone to the police, systematically went through and deleted communications you had with people who could be relevant.’
‘No, it’s not true that it would have happened in 2019,’’ she replied.
