A former producer on Seven’s Spotlight program has alleged Bruce Lehrmann received perks totalling tens of thousands of dollars including a $361 steak and reimbursement for the cost of sex workers and illicit drugs before he signed an exclusive interview deal with the network.

Lehrmann denies providing the documents and has always denied raping Brittany Higgins.
