A tight-lipped Jarryd Hayne has said nothing to reporters as the out-of-contract NRL star reported to police to satisfy his strict bail conditions while on a sexual assault charge.
Hayne, 30, was charged with aggravated sexual assault and inflicting actual bodily harm after handing himself into Ryde police station on Monday afternoon.
A woman claims she suffered injuries during a sexual encounter with Hayne in the NSW Hunter Valley and that she had photographs to back up her story.
Hayne said nothing as he was swamped by reporters on his way to and out of Castle Hill police station around 7.30pm.
The one-time NFL player is on strict bail including the condition he report to that police station every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between 8am and 8pm.
He's also handed over his passport and a $20,000 surety, and agreed to stay away from the complainant and the Newcastle local government area.
Police allege the assault of the 26-year-old woman took place in a Hunter region home on September 30.
It's understood the alleged victim was interviewed by the NRL's integrity unit before the matter was referred to police.
Hayne is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on December 10.
The former Parramatta and NSW origin star is currently out of contract and the allegations are expected to severely damage his prospects of a new NRL deal.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg refused to speculate on Hayne's playing future on Tuesday.
"Jarryd has got issues to deal with and they have got nothing to do with rugby league at the moment," Mr Greenberg told reporters.
"So I am not prepared to talk about that for obvious reasons."
