She said the woman clearly and firmly told Hayne she was not going to touch him, but he was intent on sexual activity and simply chose at that time to ignore her.
Perhaps he had not even considered, prior to her saying that, that he could be refused. There was no planning, but his attitude did not countenance rejection, Judge Syme said.
The judge said Hayne does not accept that he did anything wrong, and for reasons best known to himself cannot accept the decision of the jury, so he may find a jail deniers program helpful.
She jailed Hayne for five years and nine months, with a non-parole period of three years and eight months.
A woman began to sob in court when the sentence was announced. As four corrective services officers approached Hayne to take him into custody, one of his supporters shouted at him: youre innocent.
In a victim impact statement on Thursday, the woman said she was destroyed and damaged by what Hayne did, but Im still standing.
I felt dirty and violated. He made me feel like an object and was looking straight through me, the woman said.
My vagina was stinging in a throb-like sensation and I couldnt understand or fully comprehend that he had just done that to me. I sat on my bed hugging my knees and staring into nothingness.
The woman said she wanted to scream when she made the mistake of reading what people were saying about her on social media, and she felt the urge to set the record straight as people publicly speculated about what happened.
People talk about my vagina, my choices, and like to give their opinions based on what theyve heard, and it is the most helpless feeling, she said. No matter what happened before or after the assault, no matter who he was or what hes done, no means no.
On Thursday, Haynes barrister said his client has suffered punishment outside the court, including having his family followed and photographed, and losing a lucrative one-year deal he was on the verge of signing with NRL club St George Illawarra, worth $500,000.
Hayne maintained on Thursday he didnt do it and claimed what the law says, youre innocent until youre proven guilty, I was never afforded that.
He will be eligible for parole in January 2025.
