NEW YORK CITY: A New York judge yesterday found a Canadian actress guilty of stalking and harassing US movie and television star Alec Baldwin, sentencing her to seven months in jail.

Genevieve Sabourin, 41, engaged in a “relentless and escalating campaign of threats” that “served to harass, annoy and alarm Mr Baldwin” and “terrorised his wife,” Judge Thomas Mandelbaum said.

He found her guilty on five counts and sentenced her to 210 days in jail, including 30 days for contempt he handed down on Wednesday after she repeatedly interrupted and heckled proceedings in court.

Mandelbaum ordered her to “stay completely away from Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin” for the next five years.
