So, we have to assume Higgins took her own clothes off
4:20am, Ms Anderson: the female security guard does a welfare check.
She opened the door to the Minister’s office and then saw Ms Higgins lying on her back on the couch in a state of undress such that she saw Ms Higgins’ vagina and Ms Higgins’ knees were up and slightly apart. Ms Higgins opened her eyes and looked at Ms Anderson but then proceeded to roll into the foetal position .................... When it comes to the dress, I accept the evidence of Ms Anderson, who encountered her about two hours later. It is unclear to me whether the dress had been completely removed prior to the sexual act, or during it, or had just been scrunched around the waist of Ms Higgins (thus exposing her breasts and genitalia). If it was the latter, then I think it is likely the dress was taken off by Ms Higgins at some time prior to the arrival of Ms Anderson, despite her not being fully aware of her surroundings, presumably to allow her to be unencumbered by it while sleeping.
