A plea hearing this morning has heard Bayley was a violent sexual offender who had twice been jailed for rape and was still on parole when he attacked the journalist in Melbourne on September 22 last year.
Bayley will be sentenced next Wednesday.
Lisa Macsimovic is a reporter with ABC TV News in Melbourne where Jill worked.
She was in court today where it emerged that the 29 year old Drogheda native was Bayley’s 22nd victim.
