The Newcastle Knights halfback has gone to court to seek an Apprehended Violence Order against the women, who police say have bombarded them with abuse.
According to court documents obtained by The Daily Telegraph, the sisters allegedly made more than 50 phone calls over 10 days to Miss Mahoney, calling her a "s**t", a "prostitute" and telling her she was being "watched".
They are accused also of sending Ms Mahoney a letter saying: "I see dead people! Dead people see you!"
According to court and police documents obtained by The Daily Telegraph, the sisters allegedly said they were "watching" Miss Mahoney and called her a "s**t" and "a prostitute". The couple have applied for apprehended violence orders against the sisters, claiming they are in fear of their safety. Charges of stalking and harassment have been laid.
The sisters, who live at Orange in the state's Central West, yesterday denied being obsessed fans of the Newcastle Knights star.
They claimed they were the victims of a "set up" despite the calls allegedly being traced to their mobile and home phones.
The sisters intend to plead not guilty to charges of using a phone to harass and menace, and intimidation with the intent to cause fear, when they face Orange Local Court this month.
According to the documents, Ms Mahoney received the first call on her work voicemail on May 14.
A female voice allegedly said: "I'm watching you, stay away from Newcastle." By 10.30pm she had received almost 20 calls.Four days later one message warned Ms Mahoney to "stay away from my boyfriend". Obscene language was used and Ms Mahoney reported it to police.
About 25 calls were made on May 20 and Telstra placed a trace on Ms Mahoney's phone. The next day she received a letter at her workplace. In red and black type it said: "I see dead people!!!! Dead people see you!!!! You are a bad bad woman.
"We know you really well. Your name is Catherine Mahoney, your secrets you must soon tell. Forever yours from the grave".
Telstra allegedly traced the calls to the sisters' mobile phones. Ms Mahoney and Johns told police they did not know the women.
Police allege one sister had Ms Mahoney's number in her phone directory.
The sisters spoke to The Daily Telegraph yesterday hoping to clear their names.
One, a dedicated Newcastle fan, claimed to have been in daily phone and e-mail contact with Johns over the past year. She said Johns sent her presents and she had posted him a CD and book.
Once he allegedly spoke on the phone for 14 hours.
The other said she only recently began following rugby league.
Both denied they were obsessed with the player.
