As the trial of former San Francisco 49ers running back Jarryd Hayne draws to a close, the three key acts presented in court have been revealed. The alleged victim, a woman identified only as Ms. V, has accused Hayne of rape and sexual assault in December 2015.
The first act presented in court was the alleged rape. Ms. V testified that Hayne had forced himself on her without her consent. She said that she had repeatedly said “no” and tried to push him away, but he continued to assault her. She also said that she had been drinking heavily that night, and was unable to resist him.
The second act presented in court was the alleged sexual assault. Ms. V testified that Hayne had touched her inappropriately without her consent. She said that he had grabbed her breasts and buttocks, and tried to kiss her. She also said that she had been too drunk to resist him.
The third act presented in court was the alleged cover-up. Ms. V testified that Hayne had tried to cover up the incident by deleting text messages and phone calls from his phone. She said that he had also tried to get her to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which would have prevented her from speaking out about the incident.
The trial is expected to come to a close soon, with a verdict expected in the coming weeks. It remains to be seen whether or not Hayne will be found guilty of the charges against him. In the meantime, the three key acts presented in court have shed light on the alleged incident and given insight into what happened that night.
