Brady Green had insisted he was just a harmless fanA US man who told police he and model-turned-TV presenter Tyra Banks "had a thing together" has been convicted of stalking her by a judge in Manhattan.
Judge James Burke ruled Brady Green, 39, of Dublin, Georgia, had been "hounding" the star.
Judge Burke said he would not send Green to jail, but told defence lawyer Jeffrey Berman to help his client get psychiatric counselling.
Mr Berman said he was disappointed with the verdict and was planning an appeal.
Assistant 'threatened'
His client had faced up to 90 days in jail.
Green, who was arrested in March, was accused of repeatedly calling her TV studio, sending her flowers and threatening her assistant.
The America's Next Top Model presenter had been frightened.
"I didn't know what to do," she told the judge.
"How do I live my life when I leave this building? I had never experienced anything like this before."
Banks revealed security had "changed significantly" around her.
