International rugby player jailed for sexual offences

An international rugby player who had been due to play for the Barbarians has been sentenced to two years and 10 months for a series of sexual offences.
Api Ratuniyarawa, 37, admitted two counts of assault by penetration and one charge of sexual assault at a hearing in December in relation to three women.

The Fiji lock had been due to feature on the bench for the Barbarians in their match against Wales at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 4 November 2023.
Cardiff Crown Court previously heard the offences took place between 31 October and 2 November last year.

Ratuniyarawa, who lives in Northamptonshire, denied two further charges of sexual assault relating to one of the three women.
The court previously heard the father-of-four had been without a club since the summer when premiership side London Irish went into receivership.
