Toowoomba magistrate rules media will have to adhere to Queensland laws that prevent naming him before he’s committed to stand trial

A media application seeking to name a high-profile man charged with raping a young woman in Toowoomba in 2021 has been adjourned by a magistrate who deemed the bid “premature”.

Philipson told the media companies’ barrister Jessica Goldie that she could prosecute her argument “when and if this matter ultimately gets to committal”. The legal teams representing both the prosecution and the defence agreed with the magistrate’s ruling.

It is no secret who it is.
