Ryan Seacrest granted restraining order

A judge has granted a restraining order against a man stalking Seacrest.

Los Angeles: A judge has granted a civil restraining order against a man accused of stalking Ryan Seacrest.

The order issued Tuesday requires Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. to stay 100 yards (100 meters) away from the radio and television personality. A criminal court judge granted a similar order against Uzomah earlier this month. The 25-year-old remains in a Los Angeles jail, charged with felony stalking. He was arrested outside Seacrest`s workplace on Oct. 30, just weeks after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges stemming from an incident with Seacrest`s bodyguard after an event. Seacrest, who hosts "American Idol," did not attend the court hearing in Los Angeles. Uzomah has pleaded not guilty to stalking Seacrest. Bureau Report
