A German man jailed on charges of stalking tennis star Serena Williams pleaded guilty on Thursday and will be sent home after being given a conditional discharge and ordered to seek psychiatric care. Queens Criminal Court judge Suzanne Melendez said Albrecht Stromeyer, 34, would be transferred to an Immigration and Naturalization Service detention center, which will arrange his deportation to Frankfurt within the next few days. Melendez also issued an order of protection that Stromeyer refrain from contact with Williams and her family and stay away from tennis tournaments or risk being held in criminal contempt and face up to a year in jail. Stromeyer, who has pursued world number one Williams at tournaments around the world and made numerous attempts to contact her, was found peering through a fence at the U.S. Tennis Center on Saturday while the player warmed for a match at the U.S. Open.
