Sexual assault incident

Jarrett moved to Gospić in Lika, Croatia in September 2004 as a reinforcement to Croatia's best women's basketball team Gospić-Industrogradnja, which had placed in the top sixteen teams in the FIBA Cup the previous season.

In 2005, a Croatian businessman, Joso Mraović approached Jarrett in a hotel and sexually assaulted her. Initially, judge Branko Milanović ruled that it was not rape because Mraović "only put his finger inside her anus", so it was ruled that the "anus was not a sex organ, nor was the finger, otherwise any unsolicited handshake could be characterized as rape". However, later in 2008, Mraović, then 58, was sentenced to three years in prison for battery, a physical delict per Croatian law. A year later, judge Milanović was relieved of his duties. The term "Lika-style handshake" (Croatian: ličko rukovanje, as a euphemism for anal fingering) became widespread in Croatia following the incident. Mraović passed away in November 2020 due to COVID-19.
