New evidence was uploaded to the Federal Court website on Wednesday, including affidavits from Taylor Auerbach and several receipts for Thai massages worth about $10,000.
Auerbach claimed two massages in particular were booked for him and Bruce Lehrmann during a night out and paid for with a Channel Seven credit card.
Mr. Lehrmann has continually denied Mr. Auerbach’s version of events and called the situation “bizarre.”
Records from Sensai Thai Massage in Burwood, western Sydney, are dated November 22, 2022. Auerbach claimed the masseuses attended his home in Elizabeth Bay.
The first payment, worth $875, was made at 1:30 in the morning. The other was worth $1,000 and took place about 20 minutes later, at 1:49 in the morning.
It is understood Mr Auerbach used the corporate card without the knowledge of key Spotlight staff.
According to the Sensai Thai Massage website, the company offers “essential quality of service.”
“Find your happy relief here,” he says.
‘Discover more fun with us.’
However, when approached by WhatsNew2Day Australia on Wednesday, a masseuse at the business seemed confused about how anyone could spend $10,000 at the establishment.
‘Ten thousand dollars? So that? What are they doing? An hour costs 70 dollars,” she said.
The woman then pointed to the salon’s price list, which clearly showed that the most expensive item was a one-hour massage for $70.
The price list at the salon did not match the website, which says clients can receive a 45-minute “double massage” for $100.
He laughed when shown copies of two receipts from the business, one for $875 at 1:30 a.m. and another for $1,000 at 1:49 a.m., adding, “Do you think this is real?”
He then questioned Elizabeth Bay’s address because the massage parlor is in Burwood.
But when it was pointed out that the dealer’s identification in the records matched Burwood’s business, she had no response.
The masseuse said the salon does not take visitors.
