\n\tA Los Angeles judge granted Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker after the singer described a series of chilling incidents at her home, saying they left her in \u201csignificant and ongoing fear\u201d for her personal safety.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a signed declaration obtained by Rolling Stone, the singer says William Applegate appeared at her home uninvited on multiple occasions in recent weeks, tried to break into her house, and refused to leave when confronted by her security, claiming he knew Carpenter and was expected there. During one \u201cdeeply alarming\u201d incident on May 23, she says, Applegate allegedly trespassed onto her neighbor\u2019s property to circumvent her security fence, made his way to her front door, and \u201cforcefully pushed down\u201d on the lever. When he found it locked, he allegedly knocked, rang the doorbell, and refused to leave until police arrived and arrested him.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Applegate] fabricated the outrageous and entirely false claim that he personally knew me and that I was expecting him. This was a complete lie,\u201d Carpenter wrote in her statement. She said he returned less than 24 hours later and loitered outside her house for hours. A day after that, on May 25, he allegedly returned and parked outside her home, \u201cconducting what can only be described as deliberate surveillance of my movements and my home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCarpenter included screenshots from her Ring security camera footage and asked that a restraining order also protect two other people who live with her, including her older sister. On Friday, a judge granted the request, ordering Applegate to stay at least 100 yards from Carpenter, her home, her car, her workplace, and the other residents.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is not the behavior of someone who stumbled upon my property by accident,\u201d Carpenter, 27, wrote in her statement to the court. \u201cThis is intentional stalking and surveillance directed at me and my residence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the declaration, she describes Applegate\u2019s alleged attempt to enter her front door without consent as one of \u201cthe most disturbing violations of personal safety and privacy I have ever experienced.\u201d She says his \u201cdelusional insistence\u201d that he knew her and was welcome there reflected a \u201cdangerous, delusional, and irrational fixation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHis pattern of stalking, trespassing, and surveillance has caused me severe and ongoing emotional distress, and I am in fear what he may do if he is not restrained by this court,\u201d Carpenter wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tA follow-up court hearing on extending the stay-away order is set for June 17. Applegate is due in criminal court on June 18 for his arrest for criminal trespassing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt is my professional opinion that [Applegate] has developed a disturbing and irrational fixation on petitioner,\u201d LAPD Det. Peter Doomanis wrote in a declaration filed with Carpenter\u2019s petition. \u201cThe pattern of his conduct, which may have begun as early as approximately April 20, 2026, reflects the hallmarks of a fixated, obsessional individual. \u2026 This trajectory is consistent with well-documented patterns of stalking behavior that pose a serious and escalating risk [to] victim safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
