Sabrina Carpenter asked a Los Angeles court on Friday, May 29, to order a man she says has stalked her for more than a month to stay away from her home, after what she described as repeated trespass, surveillance and an attempted forced entry.
The filing puts Carpenter, 27, at the center of a home-safety dispute that had already drawn police intervention. She said the man first tried to make direct contact on May 23, when he allegedly crossed onto a neighbor’s property to get around the security fencing protecting her house, knocked on the door and rang the bell before security removed him. When he refused to leave, she said, he claimed he knew her and was expected. Los Angeles police later arrested him, according to the filing.
Carpenter said the behavior did not end there. She said he remained in the area for two hours in his car, “watching and waiting,” and later moved closer to the driveway in what she described as “a clear act of further surveillance and harassment.” On May 25, he returned to the property for the third day in a row, prompting another police response.
In her court filing, Carpenter said private security had traced the pattern back to at least around April 20. She also asked for protection for her sister, Sarah, and Sarah’s significant other, George, saying the incidents created “severe and ongoing emotional distress” and fear for their safety. The filing includes doorbell camera images of the man on the property.
Carpenter’s account leaves the key question with the court: whether the judge will grant the civil harassment restraining order and give her the legal barrier she is seeking after what she calls stalking, trespassing and surveillance. For now, the request itself marks the escalation, with police already involved and Carpenter saying the man’s conduct grew more aggressive each time he came back.
