It states this is a civil case. Why? rape is rape right. I'm a girl and this seems contradictory that she wouldn't file criminal charges. I should add I'm not a fan of the Hayne Plane. Civil suits bring in the $$. I hope this isn't factual.According to the SMH it is a civil case.
Burden of proof is a lot lower in civil cases. Criminal case against Hayne was dropped for lack of evidence. The main purpose of civil cases ( eg OJ Simpson) is to extract damages from the respondent if succesful.
Was reported as a criminal case in May 2016, police investigated the matter and did not lay charges as there was insufficient evidence to even proceed to the courts.It states this is a civil case.

Did nothing wrong. He was just looking for the cockpit.The Hayne plane has obviously been in more than the hanger & could face possible grounding!
Thanks for clarifying.Was reported as a criminal case in May 2016, police investigated the matter and did not lay charges as there was insufficient evidence to even proceed to the courts.
Now the woman in question is taking the matter to the civil courts (who have a lower burden of proof). Even if Hayne was found guilty here, he wouldn't face criminal charges I believe, most likely financial penalties
Meraputih,
Main purpose of a civil case may be money however - in a criminal case Jarryd does not have to testify.
In a civil case, he must be deposed by the plaintiff's lawyers. His version will be placed on record and if he tells any untruth's he is liable to criminal charges.
He is in a very "hairy" predicament.
Worked here in the States for 25 years as an investigator - burden of proof is 51 per cent.
This will be settled.
This is now a civil case and as such will not affect him playing until there is a verdict or a settlement.Smh is stating that a woman in America has filed a civil lawsuit that she was raped by him. The attorney general did not prosecute for lack of evidence at the time.
Couldn't possibly be true then. Don't lose sleep over it OT. Langlands is an impossible case given he has full blown dementia. Failed to front court. One of my girls is on the prosecution team. I can't say any more.Langlands is my all time favourite player so obviously I am taking some interest in this matter.
Not looking for an argument but you are incorrect.
Extract from the SMH
"The former St George fullback - one of only eight rugby league players to have attained the game's greatest title - stands accused of historical sexual abuse of a girl on the Gold Coast in the suburb of Molendinar."
I would suggest "a girl" is very much singular.
I too was incorrect in that there were 6 occasions in question and not 3 obviously that was updated from the earlierl news releases.
BTW I never doubted Lindy Chamberlain's innocence.If that is the case then don't conceal the" inside evidence" you have go immediately to the police and let justice be served as it appears by your comment you are indeed blocking natural justice.
The "I have a secret" methodology you are employing serves no good purpose for any party in this matter and it is exactly the same mentality people had about Lindy Chamberlain.
Put up or STFU and let the matter proceed via the proper legal channels.
Quite simply - there is a legal process that must be respected.If that is the case then don't conceal the" inside evidence" you have go immediately to the police and let justice be served as it appears by your comment you are indeed blocking natural justice.
