The NRL star's barrister has used his closing remarks to attack the credibility of the complainant and to tell the jury that while Mr de Belin's conduct was 'morally wrong', it was not criminal.

Mr Campbell told the jurors they could not rely on the complainant's version of events because of what he said were contradictions in her testimony.

Mr Campbell told the jurors that the message was not noted by the police when they examined her phone at the time of the complaint, but was disclosed in a later statement. Mr Campbell argued the complainant lied in her initial statement to police, claiming she sent the message to Mr Kyriacou telling him she wanted to get high "because of what happened to her".

Mr de Belin's barrister told the jurors it was not their job to judge the morality of his actions, but to decide whether they were criminal.Jurors were told to consider the conduct of lead detective Shawn Adams when considering the prosecution's case.He told the court there was no victim statement available from that interview.

Between this and the Jarryd Hayne trial you can easily understand that some men are absolute fucking pigs.

Considerate? Maybe he should have looked concerned while offending?

'Morally wrong'? Nothing to do with the law then? Fascinated to see that 'cheating' is still a thing

Everyone will be crying when jack is found not guilty. Girl should be sued also what a disgrace. Rot in hell. Should have told the truth

‘More considerate’? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

A morally wrong sports hero? Not possible!
