sport news Jarryd Hayne's tapped phone calls reveal how he insulted his sexual assault ... trends now
Former footy star Jarryd Hayne told his friends a woman had sent him 'nudes on Snapchat' before she 'wigged out' over a sexual encounter and contacted the NRL Integrity Unit claiming it was sexual assault, a court has heard.
The 35-year-old Dally M winner is facing the second week of his NSW District Court trial after pleading not guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual assault without consent.
Mr Hayne denies sexually assaulting the woman at her home on Newcastle's outskirts in September 2018, on the night of the NRL Grand Final, claiming they engaged in consensual sexual acts.
The former footy star is accused of pulling off the woman's pants before allegedly performing oral and digital sexual acts on her without her consent, causing cuts and substantial bleeding.
According to Crown prosecutor John Sfinas, Mr Hayne is accused of being 'forceful' and 'rough'.
The court was played five phone calls made by Hayne (seen outside court with wife Amellia Bonnici) that were tapped by NSW Police
The court has been told the woman didn't want to report the alleged assault, and kept the incident to herself for several weeks, only telling a select group of friends and family.
But on October 30, the court was told she broke down and called her sister, revealing what had happened.
The woman's brother-in-law took the matter 'into his own hands' and contacted Channel 9 journalist Danny Weidler, who told the family to call Karyn Murphy at the NRL Integrity Unit.
Two weeks later on November 15, Ms Murphy made a phone call to Mr Hayne saying she wanted to talk to him, the jury was told.
Ms Murphy's phone call to the former Parramatta fullback was one of five calls tapped by police which were played to the jury on Monday.
Several hours later Mr Hayne was recorded by police talking to an unnamed male about the allegations made to the governing body.
'That sheila went to the NRL,' Mr Hayne could be heard saying.
'Yeah, (journalist Danny Weidler) messaged me, (journalist Phil Rothfield) was chasing Beave (Hayne's manager Wayne Beavis).'
