Bayeh not sorry over dildo threat

Former Kings Cross identity Bill Bayeh has been given a 12-month bond for making threats involving a dildo to Geoffrey Edelsten's ex-wife.

The lanky 57-year-old walked from Downing Centre Local Court after being given the sentence on Thursday, telling reporters Leanne Nesbitt should not have told him "never speak to me on the street. You need to be in jail".

Bayeh, the court heard, had moments earlier greeted the intensive care nurse as she passed him while on her way to work at St Vincent's Hospital in February 2015.

Initially she continued walking and ignored him, but after a few steps turned to confront him about comments he'd made some weeks earlier, sparking an argument that was recorded on her phone.

"They should never have let you out, you're a criminal," she said.

Bayeh responded with what Magistrate Graeme Curran on Thursday described as "an indelicate comment" about an apparatus and her anatomy.

"You need a vibrator up your arse," Bayeh told Ms Nesbitt.

Bayeh then jumped up from his seat at an outdoor table at the Five Boroughs coffee shop on Darlinghurst Rd and made another vivid threat.

"I'm going to shove a dildo up your arse," he said.

Bayeh in March pleaded guilty to one count of common assault over the February 2015 incident.

He was on Thursday given a 12-month bond, under which he must continue psychiatric treatment.

Bayeh was also fined $400, having pleaded guilty to hindering police over an incident three days before making vulgar suggestions to Ms Nesbitt.

While sitting outside the same Darlinghurst cafe he was asked to step out onto the side of the road and empty his pockets by police.

He produced a piece of paper but held it behind his back and tore it to pieces.

Police had initially suggested it was some sort of drug code however during Thursday's sentencing the court heard there was no evidence to support that inference.

Bayeh is also illiterate, defence lawyer John Hajjee said.

Following Thursday's brief hearing he walked from court, saying he was eager to return to his business.

Ms Nesbitt was married to Mr Edelsten for four years during the 1980s when the colourful businessman owned the Sydney Swans.
