Mischa Barton has been granted a five-year restraining order against ex-boyfriend Adam Spaw – who allegedly tried to sell a sex tape of her.
The actress started legal proceedings in March, after she found out that an explicit video of her, which was filmed without her consent, had been offered for sale.
According to E! News, court documents state that Mischa and Adam “shall stay 100 or more yards away from each other, their residences, pets, vehicles, and places of employment, and shall have no contact directly or indirectly with each other, including, but not limited to, by telephone, social media, email and texts.”
The documents also state that “Adam agrees not to directly or indirectly, or through any agent, sell, distribute, show, give away or assign in any way any intimate photos or videos of Mischa Barton. He further agrees that he has not to date done so nor attempted to do any of the foregoing.”
Although Adam signed the agreement, the documents state that it was not an admission that he “possesses or attempted to sell any intimate photos or videos of Mischa Barton.”
In a statement, Mischa’s lawyer Lisa Bloom said, “I am pleased that we were able to block sale or distribution of the explicit images of Ms. Barton that were shopped around earlier this year.”
“After months of litigation, we have reached a settlement that gives us everything we wanted: stay away orders, and a promise not to distribute or post the images, ever. Mischa fought this case for many months and her tenacity led to this victory. I am proud to represent her.”
