USA TODAY has obtained the Superior Court of California legal documents in which a 62-year-old woman who had dated Ramirez requested and was granted a temporary restraining order on "harassment-emotional" grounds, according to a June 11 court filing.

"25 attempts daily via phone, texts, video. Although (he) lives an hour away — showed up at places I frequent to confront me on a daily basis.”

The woman stated that the emotional abuse had started two weeks earlier in May and demanded that Ramirez not contact her — while staying away from her home, her workplace, her car and her children's school. 

According to the Superior Court of California log, the temporary restraining order was "dismissed" following a July 24 hearing due to "lack of prosecution."
