TYRA BANKS - BANKS' STALKER CONVICTED

BANKS' STALKER CONVICTED

An overzealous fan of TYRA BANKS has been convicted of stalking and harassing the supermodel-turned-talk show host.
Brady Green, 38, was convicted of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke on Thursday (30Apr09).
Green was arrested on 18 March (08) at a restaurant near the New York studio where Banks films The Tyra Banks Show and told officers the pair "had a thing together" after a months-long bid to meet and seduce the beauty.
He was accused of sending 35-year-old Banks flowers, packages and notes, and threatening her assistant when she refused to reveal the star's address.
Banks took the stand on Wednesday morning (29Apr09) as the first witness for the prosecution, telling the court she had to bolster her security team and feared for her own safety and the safety of her family and staff members as a result of Green's actions.
His lawyer plans to appeal the conviction.
Green's sentencing is scheduled for 18 June (09); he faces up to 90 days in jail.
