A woman who has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by NRL star Jack de Belin was left with bruising on her neck, a court has heard.

The doctor who examined the woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – on Friday told the Wollongong District Court that on the afternoon following the alleged assault, the then 19-year-old had several marks and bruises on her body.

“I felt like I was going to pass out - that’s how hard he was choking me,” the woman previously told the court. She was asked by crown prosecutor David Scully if “such a bruise could be caused by a hand applying force to the neck”.However, under cross-examination by defence barrister David Campbell SC, Dr Ellacott said she recorded in her report that the woman was exhibiting no “post-assault symptoms” relating to her neck or abdomen.

According to Mr Martin, Mr De Belin soon emerged, still naked and said: “Sorry mate, just borrowing your house, didn’t realise anyone was home.”
