News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Mon. April 8, 2013: The woman accused of stalking actor, Alec Baldwin, on Monday rejected a plea deal that would have saved her jail time and instead opted for a court trial.
Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin rejected arrested on April 2012 arrest for allegedly following the actor and sending him a slew of emails
On Monday, she told reporters the offer of a jail-free, no criminal record plea deal was “very offensive” and she turned it down.
“I’ve spent my retirement plan,” on travel and legal expenses, she added. “My house is gone. I’m homeless right now.”
Sabourin said she wants a jury acquittal in order to “get my life back.”
In court papers, Baldwin, 55, admitted he had contact with Sabourin, 40, but insisted it was only a dinner as a favor to a mutual friend.
Instead, he alleged Sabourin turned up uninvited multiple times at the Greenwich Village apartment he shares with his yoga instructor wife Hilaria and their East Hampton mansion.
And in emails and texts, Sabourin allegedly told the star she wanted to have his baby and threatened to start a “massive destructive war” if he didn’t speak to her.
“I need to start my new life, with my new name, with my new carrier [sic] in my new country help my newly husband, you!” she emailed him, according to court papers.
