According to her previous records, the woman was arrested once before for harassment, stalking and making threats against unknown targets.

The director disclosed that he had received a direct message from the stalker which read, "If I have to personally MURDER people for stealing my IPs‚ I WILL. Get me?"

The 73-year-old veteran director said that he was in fear for his life and the safety of his family after being terrorized for months. As he has successfully secured the restraining order, the stalker would have to remain at least 100 yards away from Spielberg and his family.
