A woman arrested with drugs at a jail told a convicted gang rapist he “should know the go” after being in one for 21 years.
She pleaded guilty on Thursday to intimidating him after calling him up to "highly suggest" he withdraw a statement made to police.
Alexandra Mastropetros, 32, is well known Mohammed Skaf and could easily find him, according to a statement of facts filed with Bankstown Local Court.
Skaf was involved in a spate of notorious gang rapes in Sydney's southwest in 2000. He was jailed along with his brother Bilal and several others and was released on parole in October 2021.
More than 18 months later he "felt fearful for his life" believing Mastropetros "will send someone to his residence to cause serious harm to him or his family", according to the court documents.
She had called off a private number but Skaf recognised her voice and another man began recording when Mastropetros called back.
"Why are you calling me to withdraw a statement, it's got nothing to do with you," Skaf said.
Mastropetros said she did not tell Skaf to withdraw it.
"I highly suggest you do ... that's snitching, you don't go snitching," she said.
“You’ve been in jail for 21 years. You should know the go,” she said.
She pleaded guilty to a stalk/intimidate charge, while another charge for allegedly intimidating a witness was withdrawn.
Mastropetros also pleaded guilty to an unrelated charge of supplying a prohibited drug after being caught with 4.86 grams of methamphetamine, which she told police was for personal use.
Police found drug-filled balloons in her Louis Vuitton shoulder bag when they stopped her rented Suzuki Baleno as she drove into Hunter Correctional Centre at Cessnock in January.
She told police she purchased 100 buprenorphine strips from a Punchbowl service station to help her calm down.
The strips she told police she paid $240 for were worth up to $100,000 in custody, correctional officers said.
Mastropetros said she had been visiting the correctional centre every second week for the previous three months.
“When police stated that she must be well versed in the procedures and restrictions for visiting then, the accused did not respond," court documents read.
There is also a sign at the entrance announcing what is prohibited.
Mastropetros is due to be sentenced in November.
