SARAH PALIN ON STALKER: 'I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'

STALKED

FUTURE presidential candidate Sarah Palin has won a restraining order against a Pennsylvania teena accused of stalking her.
She told the judge: "I fear for my friends' and for my family's safety," in the case against Shawn Christy, 19 and his father Craig. 
Shawn Christy admitted in court to having threatened to rape Palin but has denied her allegations he menaced her daughters.
He also admitted sending Palin numerous emails and gifts, and to traveling to Anchorage on her birthday earlier this year, something which Palin said was a "clear signal" of his intent.
She said: "I believe when he traveled to Alaska on my birthday, he did that so he could prove that he had the means to do so."
She added that she feared Christy's parents because of their contentions that Palin had a sexting relationship with the teen in 2009.
"I believe that his and his parents' repeated contact with those close to me to get me to respond to their false and very, very bizarre allegations constitutes a problem — on their end," she told the court.
Craig Christy admitted to making more than two dozen early morning phone calls to Palin's parents over a two-day period in March.
He also maintains a Facebook page with numerous anti-Palin messages.
State Superior Court Magistrate Jonathon Lack said he found the repeated telephone calls to Palin's parents, some of them recorded and played at the hearing, to be "very disturbing."
He ruled that the behavior of Shawn and Craig Christy constituted stalking that justified restraining orders.
Then he barred the father and son from sending further communications to Palin or members of her family.
Shawn Christy has said the threats were "stupid pranks" to get attention.
