A Canadian woman has been convicted of stalking Alec Baldwin and has been sentenced to six months in jail.

Actress Genevieve Sabourin was found guilty of stalking, attempted aggravated harassment, harassment and attempted contempt of court, the BBC reported.

Baldwin testified during the trial that the 41-year-old actress had besieged him with unwanted phone calls and emails and denied having a relationship with her.

The '30 Rock' star accused Sabourin of subjecting him and his wife Hilaria to "dangerous" harassment.

Baldwin testified that he had met Sabourin over lunch with a mutual friend in 2000 when he was filming in Montreal, and that he had met her again in 2010 to offer her career advice, which ended with a sexual tryst.

 

The actress said that she had merely wanted him to explain why he did not want to see her anymore following their alleged brief romance.
