Halle Berry can breathe a sigh of relief today after a man convicted of stalking her was put behind bars.

Richard Franco was given a 386-day prison sentence in Los Angeles on Thursday, according to showbiz website TMZ.com

But the 27-year-old will be a free man in just six months even though he was arrested for scaling the wall of her Hollywood Hills property.

Sentence: The man convicted of stalking Halle Berry was handed a 386-day sentence in Los Angeles on Thursday

The obsessed fan - who has already spent 193 days in custody - reached a plea agreement with prosecutors.


In exchange for pleading no contest to felony stalking, they agreed to drop a felony burglary charge.

He was then sentenced to 386 days in jail and, because he has already served half that time, he will be released in about six months.

Court documents: In August Halle Berry was granted a restraining order that has since been extended from three to ten years

Caught: Los Angeles police officers at Halle's home in July after Richard Franco tried to get on the property

It has been a scary scenario for the 45-year-old single mum, who has a three-year-old daughter.

The July 2011 incident was the THIRD time the man tried to trespass on the Oscar winner's property in a single weekend.

Couple: Halle is dating French actor Olivier Martinez

He was finally arrested after her private security team - who are off-duty police officers - saw him climb over the back wall of her property and allegedly attempt to enter a guest house.

A month later a judge granted the actress a three-year restraining order against Franco, which has since been extended to ten years.

He must stay at least 200 yards away from the actress and her daughter Nahla for the next decade.

After he is released he will have to do five years probation and complete a one-year psychological programme.

The twice-divorced actress is currently dating French actor Olivier Martinez.

The couple have denied reports that they are engaged.

They spent Saturday at Disneyland now it seems that Halle Berry and her little daughter left the theme park with a new friend.

The 45-year-old actress had lunch with three-year-old Nahla in Los Angeles on Monday and she was carrying a new addition to their family - Baby Minnie Mouse.

The mum-of-one held on to her daughter's new toy in one hand while she gently pulled her child along with the other.

They were joined by the Bond girl's boyfriend, French actor Olivier Martinez.


The lunch outing followed a jam-packed day at Disneyland at the weekend.

Nahla appears to be a big fan of Minnie Mouse because on Saturday she wore a pink hat with Minnie Mouse ears and carried a balloon featuring the cartoon character's face.

Halle was still slightly incapacitated after the foot injury she suffered last year returned.

Unable to walk properly on Saturday she made her restricted movement a little more fun by letting Nahla and her friend jump on to her lap and hitch a ride.

The actress wore a splint on her right foot, which she broke while filming Cloud Atlas in Mallorca, Spain, and used a mobility scooter to get around the large grounds of the family amusement park.


The Catwoman star tried to remain incognito and wore a green cap with a pair of large sunglasses but her reported emerald engagement ring was still on.

She looked like any other parent enjoying a day out in the theme park dressed casually in a green jacket with a fur lined hood and ripped blue jeans.

Olivier was also trying to keep a low profile and wore violet coloured Reebok baseball cap with jeans and a brown suede jacket.

The 46-year-old model has been bonding with Halle's only child, Nahla, and was regularly pictured caring for the three-year-old alone with his girlfriend.

Nahla, who is the daughter of Halle's ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, got her face painted and was joined by a young family friend for the day out.

After two failed marriages and a high profile break up with her daughter's father, it looks like Halle Berry may have finally found her Prince Charming.

The 45-year-old spent a fairytale afternoon with her three-year-old daughter Nahla Aubrey and her rumoured fiance Olivier Martinez, yesterday at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.

The mother-of-one was still slightly incapacitated after a break in her left foot from last year had recently reoccurred and she was still wearing what is thought to be an engagement ring on her wedding finger.

Unable to walk properly she made her restricted movement a little more fun by letting Nahla and her friend jump on to her lap and hitch a ride.

Nahla, who is the daughter of Halle's ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, got her face painted and was joined by a young family friend for the day out.

While Olivier had fun riding the Space Mountain, Nahla drove a car with her mother at Utopia.

Due to her foot injury Halle was limited in the amount of rides she could go on but she made the most of her mobility scooter and whizzed through the park with Nahla and her young friend tagging along for the ride.

Despite many reports that Halle and Olivier are engaged neither party has confirmed it as yet, however, Kylie Minogue, who used to date the hunky model, certainly seems to think they are betrothed.

The Austrailian singer wrote on Twitter: 'Congrats to Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry!! #wedding.'

Website TMZ reported that the ring was a present from Mr Martinez but it is simply a sign of a 'committed relationship'.

Are Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez engaged? Or not so much? – Los Angeles Times

Are Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez engaged? Or not so much? – Los Angeles Times

Publication Date 15 January 2012

 

So about Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez getting engaged — the story’s not quite that simple.
It was reported Wednesday that Berry, who’d been spotted wearing an emerald-and-diamond bauble on her left-hand ring finger after swearing years ago she’d never again wed, got engaged to her “Dark Tide” costar over the holidays. A rep for jeweler Gurhan then told People mm hmm, it’s an engagement ring.
Cut to Thursday and “sources close to the couple” were telling TMZ that although the ring was a gift from him to her, and although the relationship was a “committed” one, and although marriage hadn’t been ruled out, that rock was not indicative of an engagement.
Turn the page to Friday and a rep for the jeweler is buzzing People with the word that, hey, we can’t even say for sure the ring is a Gurhan design.
So maybe Berry was for real in 2004 when she told Oprah Winfrey, “I will never marry again. I mean it with every bone in my body.”
Now who’s going to break it to Martinez’s ex, Kylie Minogue?
