Ex-NRL star Jarryd Hayne has won his bid to overturn a conviction for rape after his lawyers accused the victim of deliberately concealing evidence.
Three separate criminal trials were told the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, changed her mind about having sex with Hayne after realising he had a taxi waiting outside her house. He argued those and other messages deleted from the woman’s phone amounted to deliberate concealment of the facts.“We say concealment, of course, is the same as lying or deception.”
Hayne’s defence team also argued the woman should have been cross-examined on why she allegedly told police, “If those message get out, I’m fucked and he will get off.”
