A hospital nurse prank called her new husband’s former girlfriend to label her a “f---ing rat and a slut”.
Sandy Eid, 32, was sentenced in Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday to a charge of intimidation.
Agreed facts tendered to court said Eid, who lives in Condell Park, had never met the woman but she was the former girlfriend of her husband.
The victim received multiple calls from a ‘no caller ID’ within two minutes about 1pm on May 12 this year at Blakehurst.
The woman answered the fifth call and heard a female yell, “you wait until I f---ing get you after this court case”.
Police checks on the number revealed it matched Eid’s phone.
In a police interview on September 13, Eid admitted to prank calling the victim.
“I have contacted her and called her a f---ing rat and a slut,” Eid told police.
“I called multiple times, about three times, four times and it was one time that I spoke.
“The other times I called her, and I hanged up and we just laughed.”
Police applied for an apprehended domestic violence order which prohibited Eid from contacting the woman.
The court heard Eid was recently married and employed as a nurse at Bankstown Hospital.
Eid’s lawyer Oussama Elfawal noted her client’s job could be at risk if a conviction was recorded because it was a government department that did criminal checks.
He noted the intimidation was not in person but rather over the phone, and there were no death or violent threats made.
Mr Elfawal said his client had no criminal record, the offence was not planned, Eid was a person of prior good character and she was unlikely to reoffend.
He noted she had not breached the interim AVO and had pleaded guilty at an early opportunity as well as showed her remorse in an apology letter tendered to court.
Magistrate Phillip Stewart said the threats were “not at the highest level” of seriousness and imposed a community corrections order for 12 months, without conviction.
Eid must also abide by the conditions of the AVO.
