Jennifer Garner has succeeded in obtaining a restraining order against a man who is allegedly stalking her. Garner told authorities that the man has been trying to get to her for years. Her attorney appeared in the Los Angeles courtroom on Thursday morning and was awarded three years of protection.
The restraining order encompasses and protects not only her – but also her husband Ben Affleck and their daughter Violet. Garner first requested the restraining order earlier this month against the 36 year old Steven R. Burky. She claims that he has been following and harassing her since 2002.
In a sworn statement she wrote that she thought that Burky’s “obsessive, threatening and stalking behavior” posed a threat to her and her family. She hopes that the restraining order will be a warning to him and that he will finally leave her and her family alone.
