Sabrina Carpenter is granted a five-year restraining order against a man who repeatedly tries to reach her Los Angeles home, according to multiple reports. Court proceedings described the man as repeatedly attempting to access Carpenter’s property, with coverage saying he tried to enter the home more than a dozen times and was seen near the premises on multiple occasions. One report says the man allegedly forced the front door open during a May 23 attempt. Several outlets report that the order requires him to stay away from Carpenter, including barring contact and keeping him within 100 yards of her, as stated in coverage.
Carpenter’s legal team and court records described her as fearing for her personal safety. The New York Times also reports that she feared what the man would do if he were allowed to approach her or her family. One outlet names the man as William Applegate, and other reports attribute unusual claims to him, including statements that he believed they should be together for reasons he described as involving “national security,” and similar assertions made during court.
