Alec Baldwin brought to tears

Actor testifies against accused stalker.

LOS ANGELES: Actor Alec Baldwin was moved to tears while testifying on Tuesday in the trial of an aspiring Canadian actor charged with stalking him and his wife, calling the accused “dangerous” and saying that he just wanted her to leave him alone.

Wiping away a tear, the Emmy-award winning actor, 55, said Genevieve Sabourin ruined his engagement day to Hilaria Baldwin, now his wife, with an unannounced visit to his home in East Hampton, New York.

Sabourin also threatened to enter his home and place of work, he told the New York Criminal Court in lower Manhattan. “That’s when I knew she was dangerous,” Baldwin said. Sabourin, 41, is charged with 24 counts of harassment and stalking and could face up to a year in prison if convicted.

In his complaint, Baldwin said Sabourin bombarded him with dozens of emails, claiming that she was going to start a “massive destructive war” against him, and that she wanted to start her new life as his wife.

Despite telling her to stop, Baldwin said she appeared at his New York apartment and at a public event in the city.

Sabourin did not testify on Tuesday but her defense attorney argued that she and the actor had a personal relationship. He gave examples of conversations in numerous emails between the two and presented evidence showing they corresponded for a year.

But Baldwin said he just wanted her to leave him alone and that he “erred on the side of kindness” by responding to her emails at the request of his friend, movie producer Martin Bregman, who was dating Sabourin.

“I’m never instigating these conversations [again]. Never. Never. Never,” Baldwin said.

Hilaria testified that the Montreal actor relentlessly harassed her on Twitter, even during her pregnancy. She cited a tweet she said was from Sabourin that said Baldwin would have a miscarriage.

“It feels like there’s nothing we can do to make this stop,” Hilaria said, adding, “I am terrified of her.”

Baldwin, the Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award-winning actor, for his role on NBC’s 30 Rock, and his wife have a baby daughter.

The trial will continue when two more witnesses come forth to testify.
