Sabrina Carpenter seeks restraining order against alleged stalker

Her filing says the man returned twice after an arrest, and a judge granted protection while a hearing on a permanent order is set later this month.

  • On Friday, May 29, singer Sabrina Carpenter obtained a temporary restraining order against William Applegate, a 31-year-old man she alleges has been stalking her Los Angeles home for over a month.
  • Carpenter claimed Applegate's behavior escalated, "culminating in the violent and aggressive trespass" on May 23, after he allegedly surveilled her property since April 20 and circumvented security fencing.
  • Despite an initial arrest, Applegate returned within 24 hours and allegedly loitered in his car for two hours in what Carpenter described as "a clear act of further surveillance and harassment."
  • The court ordered Applegate to stay at least 100 yards away from Carpenter, her sister Sarah, and her boyfriend George until a June 17 hearing determines if the injunction becomes permanent.
  • LAPD detective Peter Doomanis stated Applegate poses a "credible and ongoing threat," and the suspect is scheduled to appear in court on June 18 to address potential criminal charges.
