Uma Thurman's Stalker Goes to Jail

A New York jury convicted a former mental patient of stalking and aggravated harassment, for which he faces a maximum of one year in prison.

 
A former mental patient was convicted of stalking actress Uma Thurman on Tuesday, and a judge ordered him held for a psychiatric evaluation.

Jack Jordan, 37, was accused of sending harassing e-mails to Thurman's father and brother, loitering for hours on the steps of Thurman's Manhattan apartment and visiting her trailer on the set of the 2006 film, "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."

Jordan was convicted of stalking and aggravated harassment, for which he faces a maximum of one year in prison. However, he was cleared of two other counts of aggravated harassment.

 


Thurman, whose film credits also include the "Kill Bill" movies and "Pulp Fiction," testified during the five-day trial that she was "completely freaked out" by Jordan's actions and feared for her life and the safety of her two children.

Jordan's lawyer, George Vomvolakis, said his client loved Thurman and was obsessed by her but that his behavior was merely "creepy," not criminal.
