Shawn Johnson's Stalker to Stay Away Permanently
April 14 2009, Published 6:14 a.m. ET
Shawn Johnson is safe enough with alleged stalker Robert O'Ryan behind bars, but the Olympic gymnast and her family want to be as safe from him as is legally possible. TMZ reports that the family got a permanent restraining order today.
Shawn's mom and dad went to court in L.A. County Superior Court to request the order, which will require O'Ryan to remain at least 100 yards away from Shawn and her family for at least three years. The judge granted the request.
