Pop star Christina Perri has been granted a restraining order against a stalker, who she believes could potentially rape her.

Scott Brannan, who has been harassing the A Thousand Years singer in person and online relentlessly for over a year, has been banned from getting within 100 yards of her.

A judge granted the protection order after Perri said she had started to fear for her life after Brannan ignored multiple warnings to stay away.

In court documents obtained my TMZ, Perri said that the persecution had gone so far that she believed that Brannan was capable of committing "unwanted sexual acts" against her if he ever got close enough.

One message read: "I just want to love you, that's all, physically most of all."

Brannan is said to have also contacted Perri's brother and friend hoping that they could help him meet her face-to-face.
