Sabrina Carpenter gets restraining order against trespasser

Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has obtained a temporary restraining order against a man who allegedly trespassed at her Los Angeles home multiple times in May. The order was granted by a judge on Friday, May 29, requiring 31-year-old William Applegate to stay at least 100 yards away from Carpenter and her residence.

According to court documents, Applegate, whom Carpenter described as a complete stranger, first appeared at her home on May 23. Carpenter’s petition alleges that he circumvented security fencing and attempted to push his way into the residence. Security footage reportedly captured the incident, during which Applegate allegedly claimed to know Carpenter and refused to leave when confronted by her security team. The Los Angeles Police Department responded and arrested Applegate on suspicion of a misdemeanor. He was later released.

The documents state that Applegate returned to the property less than 24 hours later on May 24, departing after being confronted by security. He allegedly returned again on May 25, prompting another police response. Carpenter’s filing included that Applegate had surveilled her home for a period before the attempted entry.
