Jarryd Hayne felt entitled to have sex with the ‘stupid cow’, court heard

Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne felt entitled to have sex with the ‘stupid cow’ who changed her mind after messaging him via social media ‘promising sex’, a jury has heard.

Crown prosecutor Brian Costello said in his closing address to the NSW District Court on Tuesday that this was Hayne’s mindset when he ordered a taxi to wait outside her home on September 30, 2018.

The former State of Origin player had left his friends drinking at a bucks party in Newcastle and was also missing watching his old teammates in the NRL grand final that evening to instead meet up with a 26-year-old he had never previously met.

The 33-year-old is facing a retrial and has pleaded not guilty to two charges of aggravated sexual assault inflicting actual bodily harm.

About a year prior the woman contacted him saying ‘you’re absolutely gorgeous,’ on Instagram, and the two continued sending flirtatious messages.

Sex was promised, but then she became ‘filthy’ after hearing a beep from the car outside and refused his sexual advances, the Crown argued.

He ignored her protests and followed her up the bed as she retreated away continuing to be ‘rough, forceful, and inconsiderate’, injuring her quite badly.

‘Once he did that he couldn’t get out of the house quick enough.’

In the first call intercept played before the court Hayne could be heard speaking softly, not ‘fuming’ at this point in time.

But he became irate later in another telephone call when he realised the impact the allegation to the NRL integrity unit would have on his career.

Mr Costello gave the jury nine reasons why they should reject Hayne as an unreliable and dishonest witness, saying his evidence made no sense in many significant ways.

It was implausible that Hayne would leave a bucks party, an NRL grand final viewing, and an increasingly impatient taxi driver waiting outside to say hello to a stranger as he said he was open to.

Hayne also said the woman who started out as an unwilling sexual partner became more willing, despite the increasing amount of unfavourable circumstances stacking up against him.

And if she was angry that he seemingly visited her ‘for one thing, and one thing only,’ why did he offer sex as the solution ‘to please her,’ when that was precisely why she was angry.

Hayne does not deny the sexual activity occurred, but thought the protests were to sexual intercourse, and the woman willingly and voluntarily consented to other acts he performed on her, Hayne’s defence submitted earlier.

He testified that she was breathing heavily throughout the sexual encounter.

His defence lawyer will give a closing address on Hayne’s behalf to the jury later on Tuesday.
