Poor, poor Jarryd Hayne. The man most known for following his many lifelong dreams has today accidentally found himself at the centre of a ‘porn on the big screen’ fiasco.
He was attending a seminar about cyber awareness at a Gold Coast high school, the irony of which has not been lost on anyone. During the talk – given to 200 students, btw – pornographic images were accidentally shown on the big screen.

The images remained on screen for several seconds before Hayne shut that shit down.

“It was (awkward),” he said at a presser following the incident. “I shut my phone straight away so that was I was logged off.”
Both Hayne and Norton Security, the company that organised the talk, said the pictures definitely did not belong to the NRL star, and were in fact placed there by someone else who had access to the wifi (which was not secured with a password).
