Emma Roberts granted restraining order against man who broke in, called actress from inside her home
A judge granted Emma Roberts a restraining order against a man the actress claimed broke into her home while she was out of town.
According to Roberts' application for protection, filed in Los Angeles May 14 and obtained by Fox News Digital, the man broke into her home and used a landline phone to call the "American Horror Story" star.
Roberts reportedly locked her home May 7 as she left the state of California for work. The man allegedly broke into her home between May 7 and May 8, the actress said in the filing.
"While still present in my residence, the Respondent used my landline to call my cellphone," the court documents state. "During the conversation, I realized the caller was a stranger and he confirmed he was still in my residence."

Roberts specifically claimed she received a missed call from her landline and called back thinking it was a family member. The man, who Roberts did not know, answered and referred to her as "Emma." He allegedly told her she had given him permission to stay in her home.
The "Scream Queens" star denied knowing the man or giving him permission to be inside her home.
Law enforcement was "immediately contacted," but the 33-year-old man reportedly eluded arrest. Now he continues to send the actress "disturbing text messages," according to the filing.
"I am in sustained fear and am afraid to return to my own home," Roberts' court documents stated.

Roberts said she's "concerned" about the man's "intentions."

The man allegedly told Roberts he would return within two weeks.
According to Roberts' lawyer, the man "appears to be obsessed with stalking" the actress, who is concerned he might "potentially cause physical harm" to her and her child.
