Alleged Hayne victim told star: ‘You hurt me’

-

A WOMAN allegedly sexually assaulted by former Gold Coast Titans star Jarryd Hayne told him after the attack “you hurt me”, police will allege.

Communicat­ing through the same social media app they had met through, the 26-yearold messaged Hayne allegedly telling him how badly he had injured her.

An exchange of messages between the two, in which she accuses him of physically damaging her, will form part of the evidence in the case against the 30-year-old athlete.

According to police, Hayne did not admit to anything in his replies. The woman told police he had bitten her on her vagina in the attack on NRL grand final night at her home in the Hunter Region.

Police will allege he kept a cab driver outside with the meter running while he went into the woman’s bedroom.

He then allegedly took off her clothes and bit her, causing her to bleed profusely.

The woman’s mother was in the home at the time.

After the alleged assault, Hayne then took the cab back to Sydney.

Hayne was charged on Monday with aggravated sexual assault.

The former rugby league internatio­nal declined to make any statement to NSW Sex Crimes Squad. He was granted bail and entered a surety of $20,000, handed over his passport and agreed to report to Castle Hill police station three times a week.
