He’s having a baby, and maybe losing a stalker.
A plea deal is on the table for the shapely French Canadian blonde accused of sending creepy emails and texts to Alec Baldwin after a one-night-stand dinner date in 2010.
Genevieve Sabourin breezed in and out of Manhattan Criminal Court today for a tete-a-tete between her lawyers and prosecutors, and left hopeful that the misdemeanor stalking and harassment case would be resolved before a judge when the case is reconvened tomorrow morning.
“I’m totally innocent, since day one, and I’ve said it loud and clear,” the perky model and actress told reporters as she left court. “So there’s no reason for me being here after nearly a year.”
Asked if the deal involved any jail time, her lawyer, Rick Pasecreta, said, “If that’s the case something’s very wrong with the system.”
Sabourin had been arrested in April, 2012, after sending Baldwin a series of emails and text messages in which she told him she loved him, wanted to have his baby, and needed cash. Sabourin allegedly freaked out Baldwin’s soon-to-be wife, Hilaria, by turning up at Baldwin’s Manhattan apartment; Sabourin was arrested at Lincoln Center, having turned up in the audience of an event in which Baldwin was appearing.
Sabourin was arrested a second time, last November, for allegedly violating an order of protection by continuing to Tweet about Hilaria, Baldwin, and “my INJUSTICE,” and having notifications of the Tweets forwarded to Hilaria’s Twitter name and account.
Asked if she had anything to say about Hilaria’s pregnancy, Sabourin started to answer, but was hushed by her lawyer. “Don’t comment about them because they might arrest you again,” he warned.
“We want to resolve this,” the lawyer explained. “She’s wanted to resolve this from the very beginning. She doesn’t think she should have been a part of this from the very beginning. And for the last two months we’re doing everything we can to try to resolve this.”
