The man on trial for stalking former supermodel-turned-TV talk show queen Tyra Banks was found guilty today, but he won't get any jail time.
Instead will get psychiatric help, according to the New York Post.
Brady Green was arrested in March 2008 after harassing Tyra Banks at her Chelsea studios following the taping of The Tyra Banks Show.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke ruled that Green's actions were "knowingly and inherently invalid and the behavior was hounding."
The judge, however, opted not to sentence Chelsea Green to 90 days in jail and instead ordered that the Georgia native get mental treatment.
Hopefully Tyra Banks won't have to look over her shoulder anymore.
In his bench-trial verdict, Burke said Green will have to return to court on June 18, where a place and length of treatment will be made known.
Burke said treatment is "something that can help Green in the future."
On Wednesday, Tyra Banks testified she was scared for her safety on March 18, 2008, after her staff told her Brady Green was in the building - the same man who had been stalking her by sending her flowers and love letters.
Outside court, Green's lawyer Jeffrey Berman said he was "disappointed with the verdict," but was glad the judge "didn't send [Green] to jail."

Any one person who "STALKS" should undergo mental help assessment and treatment. This country is going down the tubes in the conviction of stalkers, murderers and a thousand other areas. For murderering someone, one could get as little as 2yrs!!! Our prisons are overcrowded, perhaps they would not be if we treated our prisoners like China!!! It costs 17cents per day, yes 17 cents per day, they are penned like pigs in a sty. The don't get good food,they are served water and bread. They are not innocent until proven guilty!!!! My God, in this country prisoners live better than the people on welfare!!!!! They are innocent until proven guilty and they even get to work on their own appeals!!!!! Why? Because you and I pay for "law libraries"!!!!!!!!!!!! It is amazing that we have prisoners who have been in prison for 20 years or more for smoking a joint!!! Are you kidding me??? Let them out and their will be room for those who have mental problems and need imprisonment!!!! Sorry, I just get INFERIORATED with our justice system and this problem of overcrowded prisons. Thank you, now I feel better, venting!!!
