And it seems they've clarified it even more now:

Bruce Emery Lehrmann is a former political staffer who was found in a civil court trial at the Federal Court of Australia, on the balance of probabilities, to have raped a colleague at Parliament House, Canberra.

Still a banger of an opening line on one's wikipedia page!

Without going back in the history again and checking, I think that's the exact wording I saw when I said they changed it "to be more legally safe".
