Jarryd Hayne - a high-profile Australian athlete - denied attacking a woman in her bedroom.

In the victim's evidence, which was replayed from a first trial last year, she said she had refused to consent to sex because he already had a taxi waiting outside.

That earlier trial ended in a hung jury. This time, it took the jury three days to find Hayne guilty of two counts of sexual assault. He was found not guilty of the more serious charge of aggravated sexual assault while recklessly inflicting actual bodily harm. Hayne has twice won the NRL's player of the year award and has played 11 Tests for Australia, helping them to win the 2013 World Cup.

The verdict comes a week after tens of thousands of people turned out to marches across Australia, protesting against the sexual abuse and harassment of women in the country.

He had the world at his feet as a player. What a knobber.

Likely lots to learn from precedent. Since kobebryant said he knew the acts were not consensual and then his army scared a lady to take money... to use as proof she was after his money... then they said Trump is bad for doing that. Hippocrates. I don't know what happens next.

The West is infected with another virus called “sexual predators” ..

I hope his victim pursues damages from him in the civil system. I'm dissapointed in you Jarryd. Only you know yourself. As an inspiration to my life throughout the years with your zest for life has really broken mine to pieces. I am not happy and how your life has turned up now. Wtf were you going at that turds house? I'd love to see women make more use of the civil courts in seeking redress even if only to strip the perpetrator of assets to donate to charity. The burden of proof is lower and that he has been convicted in a criminal court is pretty conclusive.
