Crime by Tyson Otto 7th May 2021 5:45 AM After 100 days of marriage hell, Jarryd Hayne s wife, Amellia Bonnici, is still standing by her man as she confronts the reality of life without her partner. Their private relationship will now face its greatest test after the former NRL star was on Thursday sentenced to at least three years and eight months in jail after being found guilty of sexual assault. It leaves Bonnici alone to raise their four-year-old daughter, Beliviah Ivy, born in December, 2016. Bonnici was among Hayne s supporters inside the Newcastle District Court on Thursday and watched on as her husband s victim, 26-years-old at the time of the offence, deliver a victim impact statement in which she detailed how the assault had fundamentally changed her life, saying the assault left her feeling dirty and violated .
“He made me feel like an object and was looking straight through me.
“My vagina was stinging in a throb-like sensation and I couldn’t understand or fully comprehend that he had just done that to me. I sat on my bed hugging my knees and staring into nothingness.”
She said the assault left her in a state of “devastation – mentally, physically socially and academically”.
“I don’t remember the last time I had a proper night’s sleep,” she said.
“The violation I experienced was the shameful feeling of letting someone I don’t know come into my home, was and is almost too hard to cope with.
