'Orange Is the New Black' Season 3 News: Taryn Manning Stalker Receives Jail Sentence & Intensive Therapy [VIDEO]
The stalker of Orange Is the New Black actress Taryn Manning has pleaded guilty and will be treated with therapy.
Manning's court case involving her 32-year-old stalker Jeanine Heller has resulted in the latter pleading guilty of violating her harassment deal with Manning. It went down on Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court, where she was sentenced to 45 days of jail time plus intensive therapy, according to the New York Daily News.
The publication reported that Heller will be tasked with up to 10 days of inpatient therapy after she is released from prison and then outpatient therapy for three weeks.

Heller's attorney spoke on the decision and suggested that this was what was best for both her and Manning.
"The non-criminal resolution on Ms. Heller's most recent arrest coupled with the prior plea is an appropriate resolution to a conflict that should have ended a long time ago," attorney Jeremy Saland said. "I'm hopeful both parties will accept this and move forward."
Heller was arrested in mid-January after uploading 385 files on Reddit about Manning in addition to "a 13-page, single-spaced, self-described manifesto claiming to outline the history of the relationship between [Manning] and [Heller],"
She also sent several text messages to Manning, including:
"Why have you tormented me and spread lies ... You said if I died you would celebrate. Well go celebrate. Karma will come."
Manning is coming off a big weekend, having won a SAG Award along with her costars on Orange Is the New Black.
Meanwhile, Orange Is the New Black returns for season 3 in mid-2015 on Netflix, though the streaming network has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
