On June 9, 32-year-old William Applegate arrested by local law enforcement when he was found outside the singer Sabrina is a carpenter‘s property in Los Angeles. Police arrived at the scene following reports that the man refused to leave the scene despite being confronted by private security.
Carpenter reportedly said the man is a “complete stranger” and says she has “never met him or communicated with him in any way.”
William Applegate is seeking to overturn a temporary restraining order granted to Sabrina Carpenter
Carpenter got one restraining order from the lane, preventing the stalker from approaching or getting near her. The order requires Applegate to remain at least 100 yards away from her home, her vehicle and venues.
In an interesting twist, Applegate’s defense attorney filed formal opposition papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court, officially seeking to overturn the temporary order and prevent it from being extended into a permanent, multi-year ban.
Applegate’s legal team argues that the current order is too restrictive and limits his rights. They dispute claims by Carpenter, saying Applegate’s presence near Carpenter’s property was merely an attempt to deliver fan mail and did not constitute a threat commensurate with the restraining order.
In fact, Applegate has argued that the trial against him was not Carpenter’s personal choice, but was “brought against Carpenter’s will by her hired security group and the Los Angeles Police Department in conjunction with her legal team as an artifact of a military government program’s maligned instructions.”
Carpenter’s legal team has retaliated with warnings to fiercely contest the stalker’s plea at the upcoming formal hearing scheduled for later this month. Insiders claim Carpenter has been given an increased security protocol following her rise to global fame. This makes the restraining order an ironclad will to permanently block access to Applegate.
