In 2015, Bennett’s ex-girlfriend petitioned for a temporary restraining order, accusing him of stalking and threatening her, California court records show. The following month, it was dismissed after she failed to appear in court for a hearing on her allegations, according to the court docket.

Representatives for Bennett and the former girlfriend, an actress, did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The Daily Beast is withholding the young woman’s name because she alleged in the 14-page court document that she was the victim of sexual offenses.

In her request for a restraining order, filed with the Superior Court of California in Santa Monica on July 17, 2015, the ex-girlfriend wrote that she had previously gone to the Los Angeles Police Department to press charges against Bennett for unlawful sex with a minor, stalking, and child pornography. The LAPD said it could not confirm it took a complaint from her.
