December 19, 2017: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

CIVIL SEXUAL ASSAULT LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST FORMER SAN

FRANCISCO 49s PLAYER JARRYD HAYNE

A local Santa Clara County woman filed suit today stemming from a December 2015
rape by professional Rugby player and former NFL player Jarryd Hayne. On the night of
the assault, the victim, who was a virgin at the time, was unable to consent to sexual
intercourse. According to attorney John Clune, Mr. Hayne brought our client back to
his home, approached her in the dark, turned her around as to not face him and told her
no kissing, He then had nonconsensual sexual intercourse with her, causing her
significant physical pain, he added. When Ms. V. awoke the following morning, still
experiencing tremendous vaginal pain, she was naked covered in a single sheet on a bed
with a large pool of blood next to her, stated attorney Micha Star Liberty.

Afraid to come forward for several months, the plaintiff eventually sought medical
treatment for the continued vaginal pain. The following month she was finally able
emotionally to report the rape to the police.

The lawsuit arising out of a rape of a woman unable to consent to sexual penetration,
attached to this release, includes claims of sexual battery, gender violence, infliction of
emotional distress, and negligence.
