In subsequent calls to Apple&#8217;s tech support hotline, Sharma claimed to know where members of the company&#8217;s executive team live, reports <em>NBC News<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t use ammunition but I know people who do,&#8221; Sharma said, according to the filing.<\/p>\n<p>The situation escalated on the night of Dec. 4, when the alleged stalker entered a closed gate on Cook&#8217;s personal property in Palo Alto to deliver champagne and flowers. Shortly after, he tagged Cook in a number of tweets containing &#8220;sexualized&#8221; and &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; photos referencing the tech executive.   <\/p>\n<p>A second instance of trespassing was recorded on Jan. 15, when Sharma entered Cook&#8217;s property through the same gate and rang the home&#8217;s doorbell. Police were called, but the intruder fled the scene before officers arrived. Apple&#8217;s global security specialist William Burns is on record as detailing the incidents.<\/p>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s lawyers on Feb. 6 sent an email notifying Sharma that the company would seek a restraining order against him as he failed to heed requests to stop contacting employees and the executive team.<\/p>\n<p>A subsequent TRO was issued ordering Sharma to stay away from Cook, the CEO&#8217;s property and Apple Park. Requests for a stay away order covering the homes of Apple&#8217;s executive team, all corporate locations and Apple retail stores were denied for being overly broad. The order expires on March 3, when a hearing is scheduled to take place. <\/p>\n<p>As noted by <em>NBC News<\/em>, the filing was made available after the Think Computer Foundation sued the Santa Clara County Superior Court to make digitized court documents more readily accessible. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>\n\t\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script',\n\t\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\t\tfbq('init', '303691330110002');\n\t\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t\t\t<\/script><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><script async type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/20\/02\/20\/apple-granted-restraining-order-against-man-who-twice-trespassed-on-tim-cooks-property\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] \u00a0 By Mikey Campbell Thursday, February 20, 2020, 06:15 pm PT (09:15 pm ET) Recently unearthed court documents reveal Apple filed for, and received, a temporary restraining order against an &#8220;aggressive&#8221; stalker who harassed and threatened the safety of CEO Tim Cook and other executives.
