A woman allegedly suffered serious injuries and required treatment from a doctor in the aftermath of a sexual encounter with football star Jarryd Hayne, who has agreed to a series of strict bail conditions.
The 26-year-old claims she met Hayne through social media before the football star travelled to meet her on September 30 this year – the night of the NRL Grand Final.
Police will allege that the pair had consensual sex at a home at Newcastle, in the NSW Hunter Region, before the woman told Hayne she was ‘withdrawing consent’.
Hayne, 30, spent 10 hours at Ryde Police Station on Monday before he was charged with aggravated sexual assault inflict actual bodily harm over the alleged incident.
Desperate to avoid spending the night behind bars, the NRL legend paid a $20,000 surety and agreed to strict bail conditions in exchange for his freedom.

As part of the bail conditions imposed by police, the one-time NFL player was forced to surrender his passport and may not apply for a new one.
Hayne has also been banned from visiting the Newcastle region – where the woman still lives – and cannot contact, stalk, threaten or harass his alleged victim.
He must also report to police on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday each week.
The dejected footy star and his manager Wayne Beavis refused to answer questions from the media pack as he finally left Ryde Police Station early on Tuesday morning and climbed into a waiting car.
He was then driven to an address in north-west Sydney, where he must reside as part of his bail conditions.
The football star is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on December 10 in relation to the charges.
According to the NSW Criminal Code, a sexual assault becomes ‘aggravated’ if the offender inflicts ‘actual bodily harm on the alleged victim intentionally’.
If convicted, Hayne is facing a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail.

Hayne hired Salim Mehajer’s former lawyer Ramy Qutami over the weekend.
The woman originally complained to the NRL’s Integrity Unit about the incident, and the unit then referred the woman to the police.
Hayne is yet to comment on the allegations and his family on the NSW Central Coast told 9 News: ‘There’ll be no comment’.
The two-time Dally M Medallist is one of the biggest names in the NRL and had a magical run to help the Eels to the 2009 grand final.
He has played 11 Tests for Australia, 23 State of Origins for NSW, scored 121 tries in 214 NRL games and had a stint in the NFL in America.
The latest allegations come as Hayne faces civil legal action in the US over claims from his time with the San Francisco 49ers NFL team in 2015.
