Uma Thurman's stalker convicted on 2 counts

Jack Jordan, the 37-year-old former mental patient who had a habit of following Uma Thurman everywhere, has been convicted of stalking and one count of aggravated harassment, the AP reports.

The unemployed lifeguard and pool cleaner faces up to a year in jail. He was acquitted of two other harassment counts. The lascivious behavior had been going on for two years.

"In a misguided way I was trying to give her an opportunity to meet me and give myself an opportunity to meet her," Jordan testified in his defense on Friday. "I was feeling distressed. I had this feeling of longing for Ms. Thurman and I was trying to explain it. I was not trying to scare her in any way."

News to self: Sending an actress a letter in which you say her two children didn't exist and were "an illusion" will probably scare her.
