( CNN ) -- A Canadian woman accused of stalking Alec Baldwin began sending `` a series of annoying and unsolicited communications '' to the actor after having dinner with him in fall 2010 , according to a criminal complaint filed Monday . Genevieve Sabourin , 40 , was arrested by New York police Sunday on five misdemeanor counts of harassment and stalking after she appeared at Baldwin 's Manhattan home . A judge released Sabourin on her own recognizance after a court appearance Monday , but ordered her to return for a May 14 hearing . Until then , she must keep away from Baldwin , 53 , and not send him any e-mails or text messages , the judge ordered . Their encounters , including an incident Friday night , during which she showed up at a Lincoln Center movie screening hosted by Baldwin , has caused him to suffer `` anxiety , annoyance and fear , '' the court filing said . She sent Baldwin a dozen e-mails last week that added to his stress , the complaint said . `` I NEED TO START MY NEW LIFE , WITH MY NEW NAME , WITH MY NEW CARRIER IN MY NEW COUNTRY HELP MY NEWLY HUSBAND , YOU ! '' an April 4 e-mail said . `` I NEED YOU NOW , PLEASE ALEC COME AND PICK ME UP NOW . I AM LESS THAN 10 MIN AWAY FROM YOU TONIGHT . SAY I DO TO ME , '' another message the same day read . `` I 'M EXISTED ABOUT THAT PORTION OF THE PROCESS , CREATING GENEVIEVE BALDWIN AND GET ALL OF WHAT I WANT IS THE BEST PART , '' she wrote , according to the court document . Two days later , Baldwin got this e-mail : . `` I HOPE I DID GOOD ENOUGH LAST NIGHT FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS . I HOPE I DID NOT RUIN EVERYTHING BY MY LACK OF FREEDOM AND PASSIVE ACTIONS ... IHATE MYSELF FOR BEING SO PASSIVE . BUT I AM EXHAUSTED AND I DO N'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO , THEN PROTECT MYSELF , I AM VERY WEAK NOW AND VULNERABLE ... AND SO , I PLAYED DEFENSIVE INSTEAD OF GOING FOR IT . I AM SO SORRY , I DID NOT KNOW . '' A e-mail sent to Baldwin Saturday read in part : . `` THERE ARE VERY CRUCIAL/VITAL THINGS I NEED HERE AND TODAY , I WANT YOU TO BE THE ONE GIVING THEM TO ME . I NEED TO SEE YOU NOW . '' The complaint described Baldwin 's previous relationship with the woman as limited to their meeting `` briefly for dinner in the fall of 2010 . '' However , she served as a unit publicist for the 2002 Eddie Murphy movie `` The Adventures of Pluto Nash , '' in which Baldwin had a cameo role . It was not immediately clear whether Baldwin and Sabourin met on the set . Sabourin is described in several media reports as an actress ; however , her online LinkedIn resume lists her current occupation as a film producer in Montreal . Police confirmed she is from Montreal . The stalking suspect 's acting resume is sparse , with a handful of small roles in Canadian TV productions , the last in 2007 , according to the Internet Movie Database . Her biggest film acting credit appears to be in Tom Sizemore 's `` Swindle , '' a 2002 crime thriller , according to the IMDb . `` As you know , stalking is a serious issue , so we 've turned this matter over to the New York Police Department , '' Baldwin 's publicist told CNN on Monday . Baldwin is engaged to marry Hilaria Thomas , a 27-year-old yoga instructor . CNN 's Jane Caffrey contributed to this report .
