Thurman Stalker Remanded In Custody In New York

A man convicted of stalking Uma Thurman in 2008 has been held without bail ahead of his court date in New York next week, when he will face two charges for criminal contempt.

Jack Jordan broke the terms of his restraining order in October when he attempted to contact the actress by making a series of calls to the Kill Bill star's cell and New York office phone, prompting Thurman to lodge an official complaint with police.

He was arrested after a raid on his mother's home in Maryland in November and was placed under doctors' supervision.

Jordan was charged with two counts of criminal contempt for allegedly violating the order of protection, and was transferred to New York on Thursday.

He was also hit with more stalking charges.

Jordan appeared before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro later on Thursday and entered a not guilty plea.

He was ordered to remain in custody at the tough Rikers Island prison until his next hearing on Wednesday.

A request for protective custody from Jordan's legal team was rejected by Judge Carro.

In 2008, Jordan was found guilty of fourth-degree stalking and one count of second-degree aggravated harassment after sending the blonde beauty creepy letters and threatening to kill himself outside her New York home in 2005.

He was ordered to stay away from Thurman for five years.
