A JUDGE says disgraced former NSW policewoman Jenna-Lee Hughes lied about accessing the details of a rival of Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim at the request of his bodyguard.
The 24-year-old ex-cop and aspiring bikini model is now facing a possible jail sentence after Judge Mark Marien determined she gave false information in court and to the police watchdog.
"She's lied before the Police Integrity Commission, she's lied before me," Judge Marien said during sentencing proceedings in the District Court on Tuesday.
Hughes began to sob in the dock and denied any wrongdoing.
"You're all missing the point," she said.
"I didn't f***ing lie."
Hughes received a text message in April 2010 from her then boyfriend Neil Cummins - a bodyguard of Ibrahim - containing the registration number of a vehicle owned by Alex Macris.
She testified that Mr Cummins had provided her with only a registration number and she had been shocked to find it belonged to Mr Macris.
But Sergeant Herbert Hobbs from the NSW Police Business Technology Services disputed that account on Tuesday.
"My belief is that in this instance 'Macris, Alexander' is actually typed in (during her search)", Sgt Hobbs told the court.
"The (subsequent) vehicle inquiry has come from that person inquiry?" prosecutor Karl Prince asked.
"That's correct," Sgt Hobbs replied.
Upon hearing that evidence, Judge Marien branded Hughes a liar and recalled her previous evidence that she knew about a murder conspiracy court action involving members of the Macris and Ibrahim families at the time she illegally accessed the COPS database.
"I just cannot conceive that she wasn't aware that some harm might befall one of the Macrises if she provided this information," he said.
Court documents state the Ibrahim family believed the Macris family had been involved in the attempted murder of John Ibrahim's brother, Fadi, in June 2009.
Fadi, his brother Michael Ibrahim and Rodney "Goldie" Atkinson were later charged with conspiring to murder Alex Macris' brother, John Macris.
After a lengthy prosecution, Atkinson and Michael Ibrahim were acquitted in December last year.
The charges against Fadi Ibrahim were dropped in February.
Judge Marien said he would consider an alternative to jail for Hughes, such as home detention, but noted that "nothing less than a full-time custodial sentence would be appropriate".
The court has also previously heard that Hughes accessed the police system in 2009 on behalf of another former boyfriend, Jack Sweeney (aka Jack Moran).
He and co-offender Gavin Rogers had stolen a vehicle and wanted to know if they were suspects.
Hughes has also previously pleaded guilty to two charges of misconduct as a police officer and two charges of lying to the Police Integrity Commission (PIC) when giving evidence about corruptly using the COPS database.
She admitted to the PIC that she had lied about accessing the information, but Judge Marien concluded she might have lied further by telling the PIC she had used only Mr Macris' vehicle registration number in her search.
Judge Marien will sentence her on March 28.
