Premium Content

Convicted sex offender and fallen NRL star Jarryd Hayne has launched an appeal against his rape conviction.
The 33-year-old was sentenced on Thursday to five years and nine months in prison by District Court Judge Helen Syme after being found guilty of two charges of sexual assault.
A jury found him guilty of two counts of sexual assault of a then 26-year-old woman inside her Newcastle home in September, 2018.
After a jury in March found him guilty, Hayne flagged his intention to appeal his conviction.
"I'll definitely appeal," he said at the time.
During a sentencing hearing at the Newcastle District Court on Thursday, Hayne continued to profess his innocence.
