Greenberg will love the timing of this.
You can’t blame Hayne for thinking that the storm had blown over.

NRL star Jarryd Hayne has been sued for alleged rape in a civil lawsuit filed in California.
San Francisco newspaper
The Mercury News reported that a “Ms V” alleges Hayne engaged in non-consensual sex with her in December 2015, during his time with NFL side, the San Francisco 49ers.
The case is a civil suit, not a criminal matter. The plaintiff attempted to bring criminal charges but the local District Attorney’s Office rejected it on the basis of insufficient evidence in October 2016.
Hayne denied the allegations in a statement through Madison Marcus Law Firm on Wednesday afternoon.
“Mr Hayne unequivocally and vehemently denies the allegations which are the subject of the civil complaint,” the statement said.
Mr Hayne previously addressed a complaint made to the District Attorney’s office in the County of Santa Clara, California in 2016 and the District Attorney did not proceed any further with the matter due to insufficient evidence to substantiate the allegations. Mr Hayne provided all reasonable assistance to the District Attorney with that investigation.”

At least there is a precedent that if damages are awarded against him, the NRL will do nothing if he elects not to pay.
