Woman Claims She Wasn't Stalking John Cusack

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A woman ordered to stay away from actor John Cusack denies that she was stalking him.

Cusack, won a temporary restraining order Tuesday against Emily Leatherman, whom he claims has been stalking him for more than 18 months.

Leatherman denies the allegation. Leatherman says she sent Cusack two letters requesting that he use his celebrity status to urge police to investigate her belief that she was drugged and raped by several men in 2001. She says police have refused to take a report.

Leatherman told The Associated Press she feels like she's "been set up to look like a stalker."

Under court order, Leatherman must stay at least 500 feet from Cusack, his home, workplace, car and any company or office where he does business.
