Uma Thurman stalker faces new charge

Actor Uma Thurman's convicted stalker will appear in a NY City court on today (tomorrow AEST) after being charged with trying to contact her again.

Jack Jordan has pleaded not guilty to contempt, stalking and other charges.

He was convicted in 2008 of stalking and harassing Thurman.

Jurors were told he'd showed up at the actress's Manhattan home, called her family and sent weird letters.

He was sentenced to three years' probation and told not to try to contact her for five years.

But prosecutors say he called some of her phone lines twice in October.

His lawyer and prosecutors said in February that they were discussing the potential for a plea deal.

Thurman's spokesman has said she won't comment on the case.
