The judge and police on Friday praised the efforts of the woman sexually assaulted by Jarryd Hayne in 2018 to bring him to justice.
In a statement to the court,the woman sexually assaulted by the former NRL player said people talk about the horrible,private incident “like they were there”.
The former NRL star has had his bail revoked by a Supreme Court judge ahead of his sentencing hearing next month.
A judge allowed Hayne to stay on bail before he is sentenced. Prosecutors are seeking to reverse this in the Supreme Court.
When Hayne walked into court on Thursday,he knew there was a chance he wouldn’t walk out a free man.
The former NRL player fronted court on Thursday,two days after he was found guilty of sexual assault,when a judge refused an application to have him detained.
It was telling when the jury asked if “ignorance” was a defence in Hayne’s sexual assault trial.
What does it take to get a successful prosecution for rape? The justice system served up an answer when a jury found Jarryd Hayne guilty.
At the centre of Jarryd Hayne’s three trials was the evidence of the woman who was assaulted by the former football star. This is what she said.
The former NRL player was found guilty at a third trial in the NSW District Court on two counts of sexual intercourse without consent involving a woman in 2018.
The Sydney jury in the former NRL player’s third trial on two counts of sexual intercourse without consent has been deliberating since March 27.
