Ex-49er and International Rugby star Jarryd Hayne was arrested in Australia for aggravated sexual assault and is facing serious jail time according to TMZ.com along with the potential end to a career in sports.
Officials say the accuser is a 26-year-old woman who claimed she hooked up with Hayne on Sept. 30 in what started as a consensual sexual encounter. She claimed the two met online.
But, at some point during the incident, the woman claims Hayne’s actions turned criminal and she suffered injuries as a result.
Cops investigated the matter and ultimately determined there was enough evidence to charge Hayne with a crime — “aggravated sexual assault inflicting actual bodily harm.”
Hayne turned himself in to police on Monday and was released on bail several hours later.
After being a huge star in Australia for his play in Rugby he played for the 49ers briefly but didn’t pan out as an NFL player. This is not the first incident for Hayne, he was accused of a sex crime in 2015 in the US where a women claimed Hayne raped her after she passed out drunk. Hayne is currently facing 20 years for the these latest charges. Check out the video below and let me know your thoughts in the mentions.
