NEW YORK --*A former publicist for Marla Maples, the wife of Donald Trump, was convicted Wednesday of burglary and other charges after a bizarre trial during which he admitted having a 'sexual relationship' with the actress' shoes.

A Manhattan Supreme Court jury convicted Chuck Jones of burglarizing Maples' apartment more than two years ago and stealing scores of her shoes, apparently to satisfy a foot fetish.

As the verdict was read, Jones, 52, sat calmly at the defense table with his head lowered. He later refused to talk to reporters, although one of his attorneys said he was 'devastated' by the verdict and would appeal.
