Allison Langdon has lashed out at a Jarryd Hayne supporter who allegedly spat at his rape victim as she left court after he was jailed for five years.
Langdon slammed the spitting supporter as vile before going on to question why his victim did not receive better protection outside the court. Good riddance I say, the Today show co-host said about Hayne in Friday s segment. I don t want to talk about him this morning. I do want to talk about his victim though. What is absolutely outrageous is that once outside of court one of Hayne s supporters allegedly spat at her.
Jarryd Hayne has pleaded his innocence in an outburst in court during his rape charge sentence hearing, following a confronting statement from his victim.
The former NRL star arrived at court in Newcastle in the rain on Thursday wearing sunglasses and shielded by an umbrella. He was surrounded by dozens of friends and family.
The 33-year-old will learn his fate at 2.30pm after a NSW District Court jury found him guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent in March. He faces up to 14 years in jail.
When asked by the judge: If you went out to commit a serious criminal offence, you would know it would have a devastating impact on your career..?
Ex-NRL star Jarryd Hayne was sentenced to five years nine months jail for rape
The 33-year-old was sentenced at a court in Newcastle on Thursday afternoon
Hayne will be in jail until 2025 and won t be free until he is 37-years old
Judge Syme says Hayne has showed no remorse and refuses to accept verdict
She says he was aware of what he was doing and only stopped due to her injuries
Dozens of family and friends surrounded Hayne as he walked into court Thursday
His victim read a statement in court saying she still has nightmares over the rape
 After three days of deliberating a jury found Hayne guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent. He was found not guilty of the more serious charges of aggravated sexual intercourse without consent, recklessly inflicting actual bodily harm. Following a seven-day trial in Sydney s Downing Centre District Court, the jury of seven men and five women found the two-time Dally M winner and ex-NFL convert guilty of the two alternative sex assault charges. The ex-Parramatta and Gold Coast star s fall from grace sees him facing a maximum of 14 years of prison and after his guilty verdict, Judge Syme told him a custodial sentence is inevitable .
