Sabrina Carpenter gets 5-year restraining order against alleged stalker

LOS ANGELES – A man who allegedly stalked singer Sabrina Carpenter, prompting her to obtain a temporary restraining order against him, was ordered by a judge Wednesday to stay at least 100 yards from the “Espresso” vocalist for the next five years.

The order by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wasserman is good through June 17, 2031. Attorneys for Carpenter, 27, previously went to Los Angeles Superior Court and were granted a temporary restraining order against William Applegate, 31.

Carpenter contended he made multiple visits to her Los Angeles home and was caught on video by her doorbell camera.

In testimony Wednesday, Applegate repeated statements he made in a sworn declaration in opposition to an extension of the stay-away order, to the effect that he and Carpenter are both currently part of a classified “military government program.”

“Carpenter and I being together as soon as possible is essential not only to the success of the program, but to national and global security and the possibility of our continuing existence on this planet both as a global community and as a species,” Applegate said in his declaration.
Applegate said he and Carpenter met during a July 2025 concert when she performed in London.

Carpenter appeared virtually on Wednesday, but did not testify.

Attorneys for Carpenter say Applegate appeared at the singer’s home on May 23 and tried to “force his way inside.” Applegate’s security team tried to get him away from the property, but he struggled and insisted that he knew Carpenter and that she was expecting him. Police were ultimately called and took him into custody.

Jail records show he was booked into jail that night, but he was cited and released the morning of May 24.

Applegate allegedly went back to Carpenter’s house later that same day, and he was again escorted away by security, according to court documents.

But he then allegedly returned to the home the following day.

The singer’s court papers alleged that Applegate has been actively stalking her since the end of April, and his behavior has been on a “deeply troubling escalation pattern.” The court filing included a series of photos from her doorbell camera showing the man at her door. (CNS)
