According to the Daily Mail, Bruce Lehrmann has pleaded not guilty to his charge of sexual intercourse without consent. The trial is set to take place over four weeks. Right now, the accused has tried to get the trial to take place on a later stage.

While he is willing to be tried on the charges, Lehrmann is maintaining his innocence regarding the accusations. This event took place in 2019 when no one believed Ms. Higgins.

Fortunately, her accuser is now going to be tried in court. It is uncertain when he will be able to find a new counsel in time for Monday.
