But Luke James Wallis refused to let her move on.
The 34-year-old, from Bendigo, launched a campaign of relentless online trolling against the woman, the County Court heard on Friday.
In one of his posts he wrote "keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone or bad men will get you", which left her terrified.
Wallis has pleaded guilty to charges of transmitting child exploitation material and harassment between June and August last year.
Hughes was convicted in 2014 of indecent assault and sexual assault for offences against four girls, including the woman, in the 1980s and sentenced to at least six years in jail.
Wallis sent 41 Facebook posts to the woman using various different Facebook accounts including Mr Kelly, Sydney Sex Fiend, Mr Cruel, Gary Glitter = Hero, Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, Mr Swirl and Don't Tell Mummy.
"Each time I deleted and blocked him, he would make a new page and continue to post. He popped up with new more disgusting paedophile personas trying to speak to me," the woman told police.
Wallis wrote he was "really proud of Robert [Hughes] for not lowering himself to admit his offences and not shedding crocodile tears". In another post he wrote "every time I have a drink or spit in a female's cup, I do it for Robert".
"Why is everyone so against pedophiles (sic)?," he wrote in another post.
After his arrest he told police his offending wasn't "so bad, because there are no threats", the court heard.
Wallis had "a clear perception ... that [the woman] was not worthy of being regarded as a sexual victim because she had not been penetrated", prosecutor Daniel Holding told the court.
At the time of the offending Wallis had just completed a community corrections order for possession of child pornography.
Despite that order including a course of counselling, Wallis continued to tell corrections staff that "people had got it wrong in viewing children as not being the objects of sexual desire, that was a natural kind of inclination", Mr Holding told the court.
"It's nasty, purposeful, premeditated, persistent offending that occurs only two months after his corrections order has come to an end," he said.
Mr Holding called for a sentence of imprisonment, calling the offending "particularly serious".
The case will return to court on August 18 when Judge Irene Lawson will issue her sentence.
