Sabrina Carpenter granted restraining order against alleged stalker

A Los Angeles county court has issued a temporary restraining order to keep 31-year-old William Applegate at least 100 yards from the Hollywood Hills home Sabrina Carpenter shares with her sister and the latter’s partner. Carpenter filed a civil harassment restraining order on 29 May after an incident on 23 May when a man tried to force open her front door.

Ring camera images show a man attempting to open the door on 23 May and being confronted by a security guard. The court documents say the guard ordered the man to leave but Applegate refused, claiming the singer was expecting him — a claim the documents describe as "outrageous and entirely false." He remained until officers arrived, was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, a misdemeanor, and Carpenter says he returned two days later.

It was later found that Applegate had been parking in the neighborhood since 20 April and choosing spots progressively closer to Carpenter’s residence.
