A judge issued the strict stay-away order after the man claimed he was part of a "classified military government program" and had to contact Carpenter to save the world

A Los Angeles judge granted pop star Sabrina Carpenter a five-year restraining order against a man who, testifying in court on Wednesday, claimed he is part of a “classified military government program” along with the singer.

Speaking in a deep, monotone voice, William Applegate said he had been recruited to the program at a local Los Angeles hotel, that his mission involved “the second coming of Christ,” and that he had to contact Carpenter to save the world.

“Carpenter and I being together as soon as possible is essential,” he told the court. “I’m the center. I’m key to this entire process.”
