In 2016, a fire engineer and his family members became the victims of intense and multifaceted stalking behavior. The perpetrator accused the fire engineer of sexual assault, but an investigation found no evidence to sustain those claims.
The city obtained a Workplace Violence Restraining Order (WVRO) on behalf of the fire engineer, but the perpetrator continued to contact and threaten the fire engineer after the order expired by making similar claims of sexual assault to other agencies throughout the region. The city obtained a second order on behalf of the fire engineer, his spouse, and child.
Eventually, the perpetrator began to contact the fire engineer’s parents in an attempt to circumvent the active WVRO. Associate Kamran convinced the California Superior Court Judge to modify the WVRO to include the fire engineer’s extended family, as well as their homes and workplaces.
Note: California law allows employers to seek WVRO’s on behalf of employees in certain situations. LCW attorneys have experience receiving, modifying, and extending these orders.
