After more than six days of deliberating, a jury on Tuesday found the two-time Dally M winner and ex-NFL convert guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent.
More than a dozen supporters sat shoulder to shoulder in the front two rows of the public gallery, with many shaking their heads in disbelief. This jury, who heard fresh evidence from a man the victim texted on the same day, agreed with the prior jury and found Hayne guilty of performing oral and digital sex on the woman without her consent.
Things turned sour when an impatient taxi driver knocked at the door asking after Mr Hayne, who had told her he was just stopping in to “pick up a bag”. The woman described herself as being in “fairyland” at the time, and pondered whether “this could maybe one day turn into something”.The pair had communicated via social media for several weeks leading up to the incident but had not met face-to-face before the evening of September 30 — the same night as the NRL grand final.
He told the court in prerecorded evidence he went into the woman’s bedroom and lay on her bed where he attempted to serenade her by singing along to some of his “go-to” songs on YouTube, including an Ed Sheeran cover of Oasis’s Wonderwall.Mr Sfinas told the court the woman felt overpowered, with Hayne pulling off her jeans before sexually assaulting her despite saying “no” and “stop”.
Yes and then had to deal with the media pack outside court asking the obligatory stupid questions .
What women will do for a paycheck
Cant understand why she stood by him in the first place $$$$ Nearly everyday there's a story about an NRL player who has been charged with assault rape drugs drink driving the list goes on. Hope he gets the book thrown at him
I'm no fan of any football code or players in general but this reeks of a setup. When is the civil case starting for damages (I wonder cynically)?
You’d hope soon to be former wife 😳
