When a Newcastle woman realised Jarryd Hayne had left a taxi outside her home she said there was no way she was having sex with him, his rape trial has heard.
Shortly after the former NRL player left, the 26-year-old alleged victim sent a text message saying “I’m hurting so much”.
“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 for you,” she wrote in a follow-up text.
His only response was: “Go doctor tomorrow.”
Hayne has pleaded not guilty to two charges of aggravated sexual assault inflicting actual bodily harm.
His retrial heard the rugby league star was in Newcastle for a friend’s bucks party when he arranged to meet the woman at a house in the outskirts of the city where she lived with her mother.
Crown prosecutor Brian Costello said in his opening address to the NSW District Court on Monday that the woman first contacted Hayne via Instagram and sexually suggestive messages were then sent between the pair who had never met in person.
Shortly after 9pm on 30 September, 2018, on the night of the NRL grand final, Hayne arrived at her house in a taxi he had booked back to Sydney for $550.
He instructed the driver to wait while he picked up a bag.
Inside the woman’s room, he looked up an online Ed Sheeran version of Oasis’s Wonderwall and began a singalong before she noticed the car waiting outside and became upset.
By this stage of the evening she had formed the view he was at her house for one thing and one thing only, and it became abundantly clear once he got what he came for he would not remain for any significant amount of time, Mr Costello said.
It was then she made a conscious decision not to have sex with Hayne and said so to her mother while he went outside to speak with the taxi driver.
“There’s no way I’m about to have sex with him,” she allegedly said.
After coming back inside he started kissing her on her bed while she told him “no” and “stop” but he forcefully removed her jeans, she said.
Not long after the alleged attack, the woman began bleeding.
A doctor who later examined her said she had suffered two clear lacerations to her vagina consistent with penetration of her genitalia.
Hayne does not deny the sexual activity occurred but thought his alleged victim was saying no to sexual intercourse but had willingly and voluntarily consented to other acts he performed on her, the defence is due to argue.
The trial continues.
