Australian rugby league player Jarryd Hayne found himself in an embarrassing situation on Monday when pornographic images flashed on screen while he was making a presentation on cyber security to school children.

Organisers of the event say the images, displayed to more than 200 students at a Queensland school, had not come from Hayne's device but another that was linked to the same network.
Hayne was displaying his browsing history, containing mostly sports images on his phone, which was connected to a public Wi-Fi network at the time.
Hayne said it was awkward and he shut off his phone as soon as he saw the lewd images appear on the screen.
The presentation was being held to teach students about the dangers of joining open Wi-Fi, where data could be seized without the user's knowledge.
Norton Security's Paul Savvides said it was an unfortunate situation and the images definitely did not come from Hayne's device.
