The woman attacked by former NRL star Jarryd Hayne in her bedroom on the night of the 2018 NRL grand final says she has constant flashbacks of seeing his face during the sexual assault.
She told District Court Judge Helen Syme in Newcastle on Thursday Hayne had destroyed her life and she would never be the same again.
In her emotional victim impact statement read to the court, the woman, 28, who cannot be named, told the court Hayne had made her feel dirty and violated.
She said he had made her feel like an object and appeared at the time to be seeing right through her.
"You don't owe somebody your body, nor should they expect it," the woman said.
"This assault has changed me. It changed my direction and who I was.
"I don't remember the last time I had a proper sleep."
The woman had endured "countless hours of crying" and visited various psychologists to try to push the memory of what happened to her to the back of her mind.
She and her mother had been forced to move out of their home because she could never be in that bedroom again.
The woman no longer trusted anyone, pushed everyone away and "freaks out if I get close to anyone".
She told the court she made the mistake of looking at social media and wanted to scream at people discussing the case and "set them straight".
Hayne, 32, who was dropped off outside court on Thursday before a crowd of supporters tried to shield him from the media, was found guilty in March of two counts of sexual assault by a jury of seven men and five women during a retrial in Sydney.
He was found not guilty of the two more serious charges of aggravated sexual assault without consent inflicting actual bodily harm, and is facing a maximum 14 years' jail.
The first jury in Newcastle was discharged in December after failing to reach a verdict.
The crown case against Hayne was he arrived drunk at the woman's house on the outskirts of Newcastle about 9pm on September 30, 2018 and stayed for about 45 minutes, committed two sex acts on her without her consent involving digital penetration and oral sex before causing two separate injuries to her genitalia before leaving.
The woman's mother was in the lounge room watching the grand final at the time.
The woman told the jury Hayne tried to kiss and touch her but when she said "no" and "stop" he pushed her head into the pillow, ripped off her trousers and attacked her.
Hayne claimed he knew the woman did not want to have sex with him after she realised he had a taxi waiting outside, but she agreed to him performing oral sex on her to please her.
He said the woman's injuries must have been caused when he accidentally cut her with his finger.
Hayne had paid a taxi driver $550 to take him home to Sydney after a two-day bucks party for rugby league player Kevin Naiqama in Newcastle when he decided to pop in to the woman's nearby home.
He had never met her but believed she had promised him sex after they had been exchanging flirty messages on Instagram and Snapchat.
The victim admitted she had been open to having sex with Hayne but was hoping for a future with the former Parramatta Eels star, not a fling.
The sentencing hearing continues.
