'I Felt Fear': Brooke Shields Testifies For Second Day In Trial Against Alleged Stalker

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Actress Brooke Shields took the stand against her alleged stalker for the second day in a row.

CBS2's Steve Langford reported that more disturbing details were revealed about how she feared for her safety and that the defendant may have also targeted her kids.

Shields testified only a few feet away from John Rinaldi, who is on trial for allegedly stalking and harassing Shields.

Shields said in the courtroom that the suspect parked repeatedly in front of her West Village home, and that she once saw him on her front step, where he, at one point, left a box of stuffed animals and letters.

"I felt fear," Shields testified, quoting her husband who said, "You're freaking my kids out, you gotta stop." Shields added that "police had told him not to come back on to the street."

Shields said that she "refused to read the notes" Rinaldi left behind because "I probably wouldn't be able to leave my house and would probably home school my children."

Shields also told the court she once came out of her home and saw the suspect's car, with her name drawn in the dirt on the car window.

The actress told the court she constantly tried to be neutral and calm when confronted by the suspect, testifying she once signed a playbill to him wishing him a happy birthday because, "I just want to get it over with, things only get worse and end badly."

Shields described Rinaldi's "eyes bugging out."

The actress, who testified she first modeled when she was 11 months old, was questioned about her alleged stalker's relationship with her mother Teri Shields. The star told the court "she wanted to be a savior to everyone, and she made situations get closer to me than they should have been."

"She was a woman with dementia and alcoholism," Shields said.

Shields' testimony is now complete and the trial of Rinaldi continues.
