Crime 7th May 2021 10:24 AM Â Jarryd Hayne could spend five years behind bars, but for the woman he raped in 2018, the consequences of that September night in 2018 will stay with her forever. The now 28-year-old told the Newcastle District Court that although she was destroyed and damaged by the September 2018 assault, she was still standing and Hayne s conviction would help her heal from the trauma. Hayne was found guilty of performing oral and digital sex without the woman s consent at her home in Fletcher in September 2018. He was sentenced to five years and nine months behind bars, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months.

A jury in March found Hayne guilty of two counts of aggravated sexual assault which the victim said left her feeling dirty, scared and ashamed .
Hayne must serve a minimum of three years and eight months.
In handing down her sentence, District Court Judge Helen Syme said she found that Hayne was fully aware that the victim was not consenting and went ahead anyway. The reliability and honesty of the victim s evidence was tested at length and in my view, her reliability was not in doubt. She said no several times, Judge Syme said.
