Alec Baldwin won’t be looking over his shoulder for at least seven months.
That’s how long Genevieve Sabourin, the obsessed actress who made his life a living hell, could be cooling her high heels on Rikers Island after a judge found her guilty of stalking.
Sabourin, who turned her trial into a circus when she heckled Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, on the stand, looked glum on Thursday as the judge declared her guilty on all counts. Then the judge gave her a piece of his mind.
“You had no right to continue communications or pursue contact you knew to be unwanted and unwelcome,” Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Robert Mandelbaum said. “Your relentless and escalating campaign of threats and in-person appearances in private spaces served at a minimum to harass, annoy and alarm Mr. Baldwin.”
Mandelbaum added that Sabourin’s “conduct throughout this trial demonstrated an utter lack of respect of the law and the legal system.”
The furious French-Canadian gave it right back to the judge.
“I haven’t done anything wrong, and I’m innocent, so that’s what I have to say,” she said. “You’re doing a mistake right now.”
It took the judge about five minutes to review the evidence and find Sabourin guilty.
Her friend, “Scarface” producer Martin Bregman, said Sabourin was just acting defiant and that seven months behind bars will be an eternity to her.
“She’s not a tough person,” said Bregman. “She’s not going to last at Rikers. She thinks it’s going to help her career. I believe that’s what she thinks. She’s famous now. It’s a hell of a way to get there, kid.”
Baldwin was not in the court when the verdict came down on his nemesis. He was at his E. 10th St. building snarling at photographers trying to get a picture of him, his wife Hilaria and their baby daughter, Carmen.
“Get the f— away from my car!” he yelled.
Hilaria Baldwin later released a much more measured statement.
“Now that it’s finally over, we feel safe, relieved and happy to move forward,” she said. “We’re grateful to Assistant District Attorney Zachary Stendig, the judge and everyone who supported us and helped provide us with peace of mind.”
Sabourin, a 41-year-old blond from suburban Montreal, was sentenced to 180 days in jail — plus the 30 days for acting up in court. She was declared in contempt on Wednesday after Mandelbaum got fed up with her courtroom antics.
Mandelbaum also took steps to make sure Sabourin stays away from the Baldwins after she gets sprung by issuing a five-year order of protection.

Sabourin was convicted of attempted aggravated harassment, stalking, attempted criminal contempt and harassment.
Her family had nothing to say about the verdict.
“I don’t have any comment,” Sabourin’s mother, Murielle, said at her home in Candiac, a Montreal suburb.
Her brother Frederick didn’t return calls.
Prosecutors said a “delusional” Sabourin waged a two-year harassment campaign against the “30 Rock” star.
“It was a nightmare even an order of protection could not stop because this defendant was relentless, intentionally trying to destroy Alec Baldwin’s peace of mind and his relationship with Hilaria,” Stendig said before the judge rendered his verdict.
The nightmare reached its climax when Sabourin showed up at Baldwin’s building in April 2012 demanding to see him and Hilaria sicced the cops on her, Stendig said.
“This encounter shows the depths of this defendant’s obsession and her delusions,” he said. “Even if you were to take at face value the claim that Alec Baldwin and the defendant slept together, it wouldn’t matter. In fact, it would make the case stronger.”
Defense attorney Todd Spodek said Sabourin was a lover scorned who was simply seeking closure from a cad who “took her on a once-in-a-lifetime fairy tale date.”
“One minute Mr. Baldwin is head-over-heels for Ms. Sabourin, and the next he’s not interested at all,” Spodek said. “Ms. Sabourin had a legitimate purpose in determining the status of their relationship.”
In the end, Mandelbaum ruled, the issue was not whether Baldwin broke Sabourin’s heart — it was whether Sabourin broke the law.
The verdict closes an especially embarrassing chapter for the hot-headed Baldwin.
Baldwin admitted on the stand he had dinner with Sabourin three years ago at Elio’s on the Upper East Side, but said it was to give her “career” advice. He said the meeting was set up by Bregman.
“She was Marty’s girlfriend,” Baldwin claimed.
Afterward, Bregman, who is 87, called Baldwin a liar and said he was cheating on Hilaria with Sabourin.
Sabourin told the court she and Baldwin went on a “dream date” on Valentine’s Day in 2010 that included a romp at the swanky Lowell Hotel and was followed by what she called “sex phone,” which is phone sex to native English speakers.
“Can you believe that?” a giddy Sabourin said on the stand. “It’s the first time in my life.”
In the end, Mandelbaum ruled, the issue was not whether Baldwin broke Sabourin’s heart — it was whether Sabourin broke the law.
