Sandra Bullock has been granted a restraining order against Thomas
Weldon, a man the Hollywood actress says has been stalking her for
years. The order of protection is to remain in place for three years and
covers Bullock's infant son Louis and her ex-husband Jesse James's three
children -- Chandler, Sunny and Jesse Jr.
Weldon, 41, was first arrested for stalking Bullock in 2003. He was subsequently hospitalized for mental illness, TMZ said.
Bullock's
attorney filed court documents last month seeking a renewal of the
protective order she first obtained seven years ago.
In a report
last month, "Entertainment Tonight" quoted the paperwork as saying
Bullock has accused Weldon of "following her to California to Texas to
South Carolina, and then back to California ... He sent numerous e-mails
... indicating, among other things, that he wants to have a relationship with her."
