The Keeping up with the Kardashian star has been targeted by a stalker at her home.

On Tuesday, a Canadian named John Ford was found on her porch, staring at her through a window. Ford, 37, was arrested by LAPD for ‘criminal trespass and violating a restraining order’ which he ignored. If found guilty, he could face up to six months in prison. According to TMZ, Ford is currently held under California law code 5150, where a person can be involuntarily and temporarily held in a psychiatric hospital for 72 hours.

Jenner has been left terrified after the stalker broke into her home for the second time in a matter of days. In 2016, Shavaughn McKenzie, 25, was found in the driveway of her west Hollywood home. Scared, she called 911 and waited in her car until police officers arrived. She later found out that there was a warrant out for his arrest. The reality star has had a history of being targeted by stalkers, she opened up on an episode of KUWTK saying that: “I literally once a week have a stalker, maybe more, twice a week.”

The model has taken to social media to express her anger, saying that TMZ has given out the exact location of her home. Making it all too easy for stalkers to find out where she lives.

 

With roughly 150 million users on social networking sites, the door for social media abuse is left open.

England soccer star, Karen Carney, has received rape and death threats through Instagram messages this past week. The messages started to flood in after her team Chelsea’s  win against Fiorentina in the Champions League.
