Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has been granted a temporary restraining order against a man she alleges has been stalking her and trespassed her property numerous times in the last several weeks. Carpenter filed a request Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court for a civil harassment restraining order against 31-year-old William Applegate. The request alleges Applegate trespassed onto the singer’s property four different times since April, with the most recent incident occurring on May 23 when he went up to Carpenter’s front door and tried to forcibly open it. The request also included images of Applegate at Carpenter’s door, as captured by her home’s Ring camera. “His pattern of stalking, trespassing, and surveillance has caused me severe and ongoing emotional distress, and I am in fear [of] what he may do if he is not restrained by his Court,” Carpenter wrote in her declaration requesting the restraining order. According to the court documents, Applegate was confronted by a security guard during the May 23 incident and refused to leave the property, claiming he knew Carpenter and that she was expecting him. Carpenter called the claim “outrageous and entirely false,” and said it was indicative of a “dangerous, delusional, and irrational fixation.” Police responded to her home and he was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, a misdemeanor, but returned two days later. A Los Angeles police detective who issued a declaration in support of the restraining order said Applegate had “developed a disturbing and irrational fixation on” the “Espresso” singer. The restraining order prohibits Applegate from being within 100 feet of Carpenter or her sister Sarah Carpenter, as well as Sarah’s boyfriend, whom also live in the Hollywood Hills home. It was not clear Monday if Applegate had an attorney who comment on his behalf. The Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment. ...read more read less
