The wife of former NRL player and convicted rapist Jarryd Hayne cried in the witness box during her husband’s fight to remain on bail ahead of his sentencing for sexual assault, before a judge said there was “no question” he would go to jail.
Former NRL player and convicted rapist Jarryd Hayne will remain on bail until an expected jail sentence next month after his lawyers argued he was liable to being attacked while on remand and a judge determined exceptional circumstances had been established.
Much of Thursday’s hearing was spent focused on the prospect of Hayne entering custody as a prisoner on remand, rather than a sentenced prisoner. “The submission is Mr Hayne is treated as the most evil, serious sex offender who has ever inhabited the earth.” She said if Hayne was sentenced to full-time custody, they would need to relocate to a “country” location to have her parents’ support, and she would need her husband’s help with the move.
