LOS ANGELES (AFP) – A 36-year-old man previously accused of stalking heiress Paris Hilton was charged and jailed Tuesday for violating a judge's stayaway order, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office said.
James Brian Rainford was arrested Monday for trespassing near Hilton's Malibu home, and was subsequently jailed in breach of the order from last January that prohibited him from coming within less than 200 yards (183 meters) of Hilton. His bail was set at $20,000.
"My stalker needs to leave me alone," Hilton said on her Twitter account Tuesday.
Paparazzi photographers outside Hilton's home had called police after they recognized Rainford, who was arrested last October for harassing the heiress.
In April, Rainford also attacked Hilton's then-boyfriend Cy Waits, for which he was sentenced to 227 days in jail. He was released early, as is customary for minor offenses in California.
