Emma Roberts has been granted a permanent restraining order against a man who allegedly broke into her home and sent her a ‘strange’ text message.
A judge has given the actress a five-year restraining order against Melvin Jeffery Conley, a 32-year-old man who she claims intruded into her home while she was away and managed to contact her on her cell phone, according to TMZ.
The order, signed off by the judge on Thursday, also protects her son Rhodes Robert Hedlund, three. She alleges Conley said her child’s name, sparking concern about what her alleged stalker wanted.
Roberts, 33, first encountered Conley in May.
He allegedly broke into her home in Los Angeles on either May 7 or 8, when she was not present. The American Horror Story star alleges he found her landline and called her cell phone from there.

The actress received a missed call from the number and returned it, assuming it was a family member. However, Conley allegedly answered.
The star claims Conley called her ‘Emma’ and told her she allowed him to enter and stay at the home. She has denied this.
‘While still present in my residence, [Conley] used my landline to call my cellphone. During the conversation, I realized the caller was a stranger and he confirmed he was still in my residence,’ she said in court documents obtained by The Blast.
‘Although law enforcement was immediately contacted, [Conley] has eluded arrest and continues to send me disturbing text messages.
‘I am in sustained fear and am afraid to return to my own home.’
The actress also alleges she received a ‘strange’ text message from him.
Emma is now fearful Conley will attempt to return to her home.
The order bars Conley from coming within 100 yards of the actress and her son. He is also barred from coming within 100 yards of her residence, her place of work, and her child’s school.
