SANTA MONICA (AP) — A judge has ordered a man accused of showing up at Lindsay Lohan’s court appearances and leaving gifts at her house to stay away from the actress for the next two years.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Biderman issued the restraining order against David Cocordan after a hearing Wednesday in Santa Monica, Calif.

Lohan wrote in a court filing last month that she is frightened of the 38-year-old, who she states has sent her more than 100 text messages, including one describing having sex with the “Mean Girls” star.

The 24-year-old actress didn’t attend Wednesday’s hearing. She is currently serving house arrest on a 120-day sentence for a probation violation.

The judge says Cocordan agreed in writing that the order should be issued.
