Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne will face a retrial next year, after the Crown decided it will pursue a prosecution against him in relation to an alleged rape.
Last week, a jury of eight men and four women in the Newcastle District Court said it was deadlocked and in dispute over the guilt or innocence of Mr Hayne on two charges of aggravated sexual assault.
The alleged offences against a 26-year-old Newcastle woman were said to have occurred in the woman s home on NRL grand final night in 2018
