Jarryd Hayne
Former NRL player Jarryd Hayne is facing a second bail hearing in as many weeks as prosecutors attempt to have him remanded in custody ahead of sentencing for sexual assault. The prosecutors have lodged a bid to overturn the previous bail decision.
The case has been ongoing since 2018 when Hayne was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Newcastle. He was found guilty in March of this year and is due to be sentenced in May. Hayne has maintained his innocence throughout the trial and is expected to appeal the verdict.
