A New York Judge today sentenced the Georgia man found guilty of stalking Tyra Banks to one year of probation. In addition, 39-year-old Brady Green was ordered to avoid any contact with the supermodel for two years and to enroll in an antistalking course.
Clad in a natty brown suit, Green appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court accompanied by his attorney. Neither addressed reporters after the hearing was over.
During the trial, Banks testified she was terrified after Green repeatedly turned up at both the Los Angeles and New York studios for The Tyra Banks Show in 2008. In one instance, he tried to push past security, claiming he "had a thing" with her. Banks was barricaded in her dressing room until he was removed.
Green also bombarded the America's Next Top Model diva with love notes, roses and phone calls, and prosecutors claimed he even threatened one of her employees.
In April, Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke convicted Green of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment.
Banks did not attend today's sentencing. Her camp did not respond to an email seeking comment.
