Rep. Katie Porter obtains temporary restraining order against ex-boyfriend on harassment allegations
Los Angeles Times ^ | November 27, 2024 | Laura Nelson

U.S. Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine) secured a temporary restraining order Tuesday against a former boyfriend, saying in dozens of pages of court filings that he had bombarded her, as well as her family and colleagues, with hundreds of messages that she described as “persistent abuse and harassment.”

Porter, 50, alleged in a filing with Orange County Superior Court that her ex-boyfriend Julian Willis, 55, was contacting her and her family with such frequency that she had a “significant fear” for her “personal safety and emotional well-being.”

Judge Stephen T. Hicklin signed a restraining order Tuesday barring Willis from communicating with Porter and her children until a mid-December court hearing. He also barred Willis from communicating about Porter with her current and former colleagues.

In the court filing, Porter said that Willis had been hospitalized twice since late 2022 on involuntary psychiatric holds and had a history of abusing prescription painkillers and other drugs.

She said in a statement to The Times that Willis’ mental health and struggles with addiction seemed to have gotten worse since she asked him in August to move out of her Irvine home. She said she sought the court order after his threats to her family and colleagues “escalated in both their frequency and intensity.”

Isn’t she the one who dumped boiling potatoes on her ex- husband?

She’d be a better senator than Schiff. WE could have ended his career but Garvey was in the way. We need to be smarter. Herschel didn’t have a chance either.

Actually, the most shocking thing about this is that she invited a violent criminal and drug addict to live with her and her children.

Shacking up is unwise to begin with, but choosing someone who is insane and a druggie triples the stupid.

Garvey was one of the worst candidates the California Republicans ever came up with. He openly stated that he thought the Senate needed more moderates like Mitch McConnell and if elected he was going to be a senator in that vein. He was finished from that moment forward. Although I still voted for him of course, I knew he had zero chance even against a jackass liar like Schiff.
