Nicole Richie has finally secured a temporary restraining order against a photgrapher who she claims has repeatedly stalked her child.
The creepy paparazzo identified as Fabricia Luis Mariotto has harassed and followed Richie, as well as lurked around her daughter Harlow's preschool, according to TMZ.
The L.A. court order dictates that Mariotto must stay at least 100 yards away from Richie, her fiance, rocker Joel Madden, and their children, Harlow and Sparrow.
Richie states in her petition for the restraining order that the pap "drives erratically around [Harlow and Sparrow] and others, yells, screams, and attempts to scare us so that he can photograph our reaction."
She continues, "He trespasses on preschool property to photograph the children." She also provided photographic evidence of the lurking shutterbug.
Last month, Richie had lashed out at the "disgusting" photographer on her blog.
"You do not get to spend 200 dollars on a camera, and think that gives you a free pass to shadow my child," Richie wrote. "These are strangers, grown men, stalking young children. You think that's ok?"
Richie, 29, also had been involved in a car accident with another photographer, which landed her in the hospital. It was revealed that the pap was driving without a driver's license.
The former "Simple Life" star-turned-fashion designer isn't new to the court room. She previously secured a restraining order against a couple of paparazzi, ordering them to stay at least 50 yards from her and her children.
She added in her petition that the stalking has caused "severe emotional distress as I fear for the safety of my children."
