Man Jailed For Stalking Paris Hilton Charged With Violating Restraining Order

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A man, who was arrested Monday after allegedly being spotted near Paris Hilton's Malibu home, has been charged with a misdemeanor count of violating a restraining order.

James Rainford remains jailed following his arrest.

Deputies detained him Monday after they got a call about a man standing on the beach looking at Hilton's home on PCH.

Back in April, Rainford attacked Hilton's then-boyfriend as the pair left a Van Nuys courthouse and was sentenced to seven months in jail.

He was released last month because of jail overcrowding.

Rainford is accused of violating a protective order that forbids him from being within 200 yards of her.
