civil settlement

Jarryd Hayne’s US rape case ends in civil settlement

Fairfax Media reports the civil case against Hayne has come to a close after the parties agreed to a settlement.

The former rugby league superstar was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in San Jose in 2015.

At the time he was contracted to NFL franchise San Francisco 49ers.

There was insufficient evidence to pursue a criminal case but the victim filed a civil suit in December 2017, which has now been finalised.

Hayne was playing with NRL club Parramatta until last year.
