Former rugby league star Jarryd Hayne has been sentenced to four years and nine months imprisonment for sexually assaulting a woman in Newcastle.
Last month, Hayne was again convicted by a jury for these offences. He was subsequently remanded in custody.
Hayne’s previous conviction was set aside on appeal with a re-trial ordered.
This sentence was lighter than his previous sentence of five years and nine months.
He will be eligible for parole in just under two years due to time already served.
Hayne intends to again appeal his conviction and sentence.
