After the judge signed off on the TRO, Everardo will now be required to stay at least 100 feet away from her at all times, as well as from her sister and brother. 

He's also barred from making any attempts to contact them as long as the order is in effect, which would include any text messages.

The judge will reevaluate the order at a hearing they scheduled for August. 

Security camera evidence included in Del Rey's filing appears to show the alleged stalker's vehicle visiting her property. 

His alleged car can be seen driving up near her garage, and a man can be seen walking near the structure in another still image from the footage.
