Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne found guilty of sexual assault

Former rugby league star Jarryd Hayne has been found guilty of sexual assault.

Hayne, 33, pleaded not guilty and denied sexually assaulting the then 26-year-old woman at her home on the night of the 2018 NRL grand final.

A jury last year was unable to reach a verdict, forcing a mistrial.

He was found guilty by a second jury on Monday.

His sentence hearing will be on May 6.
