Sabrina Carpenter has been granted a lengthy restraining order against a man she claims repeatedly attempted to enter her home.
Among other restrictions, 31-year-old William Applegate is now order to keep at least 100 yards from the “Manchild” singer, her sister, and her sister’s partner — both of whom reside with her — as well as to refrain from possessing firearms or attempting to communicate with Carpenter, according to the Associated Press.
Applegate — who appeared in court without any attorney — said during a hearing that he and the Carpenter needed to “be together as soon as possible” because they’re part of a classified military program watching out for “national and global security,” the outlet reported.
Though Carpenter was set to testify remotely, the 27-year-old pop star was not ultimately called to do so.
Per the outlet, Applegate allegedly attempted to enter Carpenter’s Los Angeles home more than a dozen times.
In a petition, the “Girl Meets World” alum alleged Applegate was arrested after striking a security guard and reaching her front door last month. He returned days later.
On May 29, the judge granted a temporary restraining order, the outlet reported.

Per the AP, Applegate admitted to being at Carpenter’s residence, insisting that the “Espresso” singer wanted him there and saying that her team and the authorities were working against him.
The outlet reported that Applegate said he’s “more than willing” to steer clear of the Grammy winner if she told him to directly — though he also reportedly wrote in a counter-petition that Carpenter had attempted to communicate with him by looking directly at him as she sang during her Coachella set in April.
Attorney Blair Berk, who is representing the singer, reportedly told Judge David L. Wasserman that Carpenter “is in fear for her own personal safety and the safety of members of her family” due to Applegate’s actions.
“I understand that it’s your belief that in order to save the world, you and the petitioner must be together,” Judge Wasserman reportedly said during the proceedings, emphasizing that he expects Applegate to “obey the order, not what you think is right, not what you think the military commands you.”
According to the AP, criminal charges do not appear to have been filed against Applegate, though a criminal investigation is underway.
Page Six has reached out to reps for Carpenter. A rep for Applegate was not immediately available for comment on Wednesday evening.
