Hayne charged

League star Jarryd Hayne yesterday faced court after police laid a second charge in Newcastle court in relation to the alleged aggravated sexual assault of a woman in September last year. Hayne’s legal team has indicated that the former Australian league international and San Francisco 49ers player would enter a plea of innocent. Hayne was charged last November over the alleged sexual assault of a 26-year-old woman in Newcastle on September 30, the night of the NRL final between Sydney Roosters and Melbourne Storm. His bail has been extended until his next court appearance on June 26.
