July 3, 2019 — 1.17pm
Former star rugby league player Jarryd Hayne has been committed to stand trial, accused of rape.
The 31-year-old faces two counts of aggravated sexual assault against a woman in the NSW Hunter Valley in 2018.
Hayne has not yet formally pleaded but his lawyer has indicated he denies the charges.
Hayne was charged in November after a 26-year-old woman told police the pair met on social media and then in person in Newcastle in September 2018.
Hayne is due to be arraigned in the NSW District Court on July 25.
Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday was told a trial is not expected "much earlier" than September 2020.
Magistrate Robert Stone granted Hayne a bail variation to allow him to live in Perth temporarily to attend a residential education course.
Two recent letters from Christian evangelism group Youth With A Mission were tendered.
Prosecutor Hamish Fitzhardinge had argued against the move, citing the risk to community safety.
