The case went to three separate trials.

The first trial resulted in a hung jury. The second trial resulted in a guilty verdict and Hayne spent time in jail, but was freed after he successfully appealed the guilty verdict.

Last year, he was found guilty again and was sentenced to a maximum of four years and nine months in prison. This conviction was quashed earlier this month. Now, the ODPP has decided Jarryd Hayne won’t go to a fourth trial over the allegation.

Hayne has always pleaded not guilty.
