Katie Porter secures restraining order against ex-boyfriend over harassment claims

U.S. Rep. Katie Porter has obtained a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Julian Willis, due to allegations of harassment. She claims he sent her and her family over 1,000 messages, causing her significant fear for her safety. The restraining order, signed by a judge, prohibits Willis from contacting Porter, her children, and her colleagues until a court hearing in mid-December. Porter described Willis' behavior as escalating since she asked him to move out in August. Willis has a history of mental health issues and substance abuse. He has the right to respond to the restraining order and challenge the allegations made against him.
