Sofia Vergara can hopefully breathe a sigh of relief now that she’s been given a restraining order against a man she claims has been stalking her for years – including after his recent release from prison.

California Superior Court commissioner Judge Christine J. Gonong granted the Modern Family alum’s request for Gregory Aaron Brown to stay away from Vergara and her family for the maximum order of five years.
