Man Pleads Not Guilty To Stalking Sandra Bullock

A man accused of breaking into Sandra Bullock's home has pleaded not guilty to stalking the Oscar-winning actress.

Joshua Corbett entered the plea during his first court appearance in Los Angeles after a judge determined last month that he should stand trial.

The 39-year-old was arrested inside Bullock's residence in June 2014.

The Gravity star was forced to hide in her wardrobe and directed police through her home in a 15-minute emergency services call which was played during April's preliminary hearing .

Authorities later found a cache of illegal weapons, including machine guns and an assault weapon at Corbett's home. He was not carrying any firearms when he was arrested at Bullock's home.

Corbett is charged with stalking, first-degree burglary, possession of a machine gun and possession of an assault weapon, among other things.

He remained silent as his lawyers entered his plea.

Steve Sitkoff said his client "really thought he was married" to Bullock, and added, "it was a delusion, but he doesn't think that anymore".

"He's mentally disturbed. He's getting some help in jail, but he's not getting the kind of help he can get," Mr Sitkoff said following the arraignment.

"(Corbett) never intended to hurt Miss Bullock and we're going to show that."

Corbett is being held on bail. He faces more than 20 years in prison if convicted as charged.

A judge set a tentative trial date for 6 July.
