Hayne victim’s fury revealed on video

The woman who was sexually assaulted by NRL superstar Jarryd Hayne has told of the moment Jarryd Hayne attempted to “serenade” her by singing along to Ed Sheeran songs all the while “completely looking through me, ignoring me”.

Hayne, 33, has been told by a District Court judge he will be sent to jail after being this week convicted of performing two sexual acts on the woman without her consent at her Newcastle home on September 30, 2018.

Hayne claimed throughout the trial the acts were consensual but was unable to prevent his disastrous fall from the heights of his sporting career.

The details of the incident, told through the woman’s own words, can now be revealed in a police video walk-through of her house.

It comes after pages of text and Instagram messages between the pair in the lead-up and after the night were published.

In the video, which has been released by a judge after Hayne was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault, she tells her version of the night.

Hayne has said that he plans to appeal the conviction but is facing a maximum 14 years in jail ahead of his sentence hearing at Newcastle District Court in May.

She said the encounter began with Hayne attempting to woo her by singing along to Ed Sheeran songs on YouTube and ended with him hurrying out the door after she bled profusely as a result of two lacerations she suffered after he performed oral and digital sex on her.

Officers created the video in an attempt to gather a rough version of events before it was used as evidence.

The woman, who cannot be identified, said after she answered the door, they retreated to her room where he lay across the bed as she sat cross-legged at the head.

“And then he said ‘let’s do singalongs’. He said ‘can we do some YouTube singalongs’. I didn’t know what he meant,” she said.

After taking control of her laptop, he put on Ed Sheeran’s cover of the Oasis song Wonderwall.

In his evidence, he described it as one of his “go to” songs which he used to “break the ice”.

“He’s taken a laptop and then he’s written in an Ed Sheeran cover of Wonderwall,” she said.

“He started singing and stuff. He just kept on singing.

“He didn’t talk about anything or anything else but that cover. And he kept looking at me like he was trying to serenade me or something.”

The woman has admitted she was attracted to Hayne and told him as much in sexually-charged social media messages they shared.

However she said soon after he arrived, she resolved that she was not going to have sex with him after discovering that he had a taxi waiting outside.

Hayne had been at a two-day buck’s party for a former teammate and had been drinking heavily for more than a day.

He had paid a taxi driver $550 to take him from the New Lambton house he had been staying at to Sydney and asked the driver to stop in at the woman’s house at Fletcher, on Newcastle’s outskirts, on the way to a midnight engagement in Sydney.

When the woman heard the taxi beeping outside, she said she realised he was only there for sex.

“I swear there’s a car beeping and he was ignoring me like completely looking through me ignoring me,” the woman says in the police video.

The taxi driver came to the door, which her mother answered and Hayne soon after went out to speak to the female cabbie.

While Hayne was outside, the woman had a brief conversation with her mother.

“I was laying there shaking my head and it’s obvious what he’s here for then,” she said.

“What does he expect is going to happen? I just said to mum there’s no way anything’s about to happen.”

When Hayne emerged inside, instead of going back in the woman’s room, he walked passed her door, without speaking or looking at her, into the loungeroom to watch the closing stages of the NRL grand final.

Hayne exclaimed “go the Roosters” and “I’m jealous”.

When he came back into the room she said her feelings towards him were: “Are you serious?”

“And he’s tried to kiss me and stuff but ignored what I was saying,” the woman said.

“I was like ‘no, don’t, stop’. I just said ‘what have you said to the taxi driver’. And then he’s said ‘nah, nah don’t worry about it’.”

As he attempted to kiss her, he pushed her head into the pillow, according to the woman.

She said that he pulled her jeans off and began performing sexual acts on her.

“I was really, really mad. Saying ‘no, stop’ … I don’t know whether he thought he was being sexy. But he’s pushed me down like that,” she said.

She said she attempted to push his head away but he persisted for about 30 seconds before she became aware that she was bleeding.

“There was blood. Blood just started going everywhere,” she said.

Hayne went into the bedroom ensuite to wash his hands while the woman got in the shower, watching as the water turned red as it ran down the drain.

When she emerged, she said she was still in pain.

She said despite her still being in considerable pain, he left almost immediately.

“He’s gone back in there and washed it off,” she said.

“He’s come back out here and he’s said I better go. And I was like, I wasn’t talking. And he just went. I don’t think I walked him out.”

The woman immediately texted her best friend, telling her what had happened.

She also sent Jarryd a message saying she was “hurting so much” and “I know I’ve talked about sex and stuff so much but I didn’t want to do that after knowing the taxi was waiting.

“Go doctor tomorrow,” came Hayne’s response in a text.

“I didn’t reply, I was just really upset,” the woman said in the police video.
