A judge has granted a restraining order against a woman who allegedly stalked Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of former President Donald Trump, at his school and made threats against him. The order, issued in a New York court, prohibits the woman from contacting or approaching Barron, his family, or his school.
Details of the Stalking Incident
According to court documents, the woman, identified as 45-year-old Sandra Smith, had been sending threatening messages to Barron via social media and had shown up at his school multiple times. Security officials at the school reported her to the police after she attempted to gain access to the campus. The restraining order also requires her to stay at least 500 feet away from Barron, his family, and his school.
Legal Proceedings
During the hearing, Barron’s legal team presented evidence of the stalking, including screenshots of threatening messages and witness statements from school security personnel. The judge ruled in favor of the restraining order, citing concerns for Barron’s safety and well-being. Smith was not present at the hearing and has not yet responded to the allegations.
Security Concerns for the Trump Family
This incident highlights ongoing security concerns for the Trump family, who have been targets of threats and harassment in the past. Barron, who is currently a student at a private school in New York, has been under Secret Service protection since his father’s presidency. The restraining order is seen as an additional measure to ensure his safety.
The Trump family has not publicly commented on the case, but sources close to the family say they are relieved that the court has taken action to protect Barron. The case continues to be monitored by law enforcement, and any violation of the restraining order could result in criminal charges for Smith.
