BY STAFF WRITERS

Two-time Dally M winner Jarryd Hayne has been accused of rape by a Californian woman in a civil suit filed with the Santa Clara county as reported by The Mercury News in the United States.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office rejected the suit as a criminal case in October last year due to insufficient evidence.

The lawsuit indicates that the alleged victim was afraid to come forward for some time but did seek medical treatment in April, 2016. She then spoke with police the following month.
