When Jarryd Hayne was first confronted with allegations of sexual assault by a then 26-year-old woman, he immediately remonstrated and furiously snapped back.
Those reactions, in a heated social media exchange between Hayne and his victim, can now seen for the first time after they were released by the court.
The former NRL superstar is staring down the barrel of jail sentence after he was this week found guilty of two counts of aggravated sexual assault by a District Court jury.
He has said he intends to appeal the verdict.
Judge Helen Syme told the court that a custodial sentence was "inevitable" and Hayne would now face a sentence hearing in Newcastle in early May.

Hayne was found guilty of sexually assaulting the woman when he performed oral and digital sex on the woman at her Newcastle home on NRL grand final night in September, 2018.
The jury accepted the woman's evidence that she refused to consent to the sexual acts after she discovered Hayne had a taxi waiting outside to take him back to Sydney, before he caused two lacerations on the woman's vagina and substantial bleeding.
Several weeks later the woman messaged Hayne – but little did he know that the police were watching on.
"I thought you would have at least asked whether I'm OK or not by now?" The woman said in the Snapchat messages which are contained in a bundle of 34 exhibits released by the court.
Hayne replied: "You said you were OK last time we spoke?"

The woman had reluctantly agreed to talk to police, and officers asked her to send Hayne a message in an attempt to elicit a response in the hope they could use it as evidence.
"I don't remember what I said but you knew I definitely wasn't OK from the damage that night and you just left me that way," the woman said.
"It was pretty messed up and you should have just stopped when I said so."
At this point, Hayne became angry.
"Wtf are you on about!!!," he said, maintaining they had engaged in consensual sex.
"I stopped straight away n made sure your were OK.
"We spoke for a while after n made sure you were OK be4 I left.
Later in the conversation she told him: "I'm not going to lie … I imagined what it would be like to be f***ing you when you started talking."

And while the woman agreed that she was sexually attracted to Hayne, on the night that he arrived at her home, she resolved that she did not want to have sex with him.
Hayne had been in Newcastle for a two-day buck's party and had paid a taxi driver $550 to take him to Sydney.
After the incident, she sent him a message saying that she was in pain from her injury.
"Go doctor tomorrow," came his response.
