Alleged Stalker Terrorizes Shawn Johnson

The man who has allegedly terrorized Shawn Johnson and her family has just pled not guilty to felony stalking and illegally carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

TMZ broke the story that 34-year-old Robert O'Ryan was arrested Tuesday on the CBS lot -- during a "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsal -- after security confronted him and found out he had two loaded firearms in his car, along with duct tape and love letters to Shawn.

CBS security noticed O'Ryan jumping a fence and entering a hallway on the lot. Security approached him and asked for his ID -- and that's when O'Ryan produced an expired concealed weapons license and told them he had two loaded firearms in his car.

Johnson and her family obtained a restraining order -- Shawn's dancing partner, Mark Ballas, is also protected by the order. In the documents Shawn claims she's "in fear for her life" and scared O'Ryan might try to kidnap her.

Cops say O'Ryan moved from Florida to L.A. to be with Shawn because he believed she was speaking to him on TV through ESP and that they would have a child together.

TMZ has obtained photos of Robert O'Ryan -- the man accused of stalking Shawn Johnson. Notice the difference between what he looked like in court this afternoon and what he looked like before (gallery to the right).

31. 1. Why does this story say practicing on the CBS lot when Dancing with the Stars is on ABC? Gotta wonder about the truth to these articles sometime.

35. This pervert needs to be locked away for a long time and required to register as a sex offender for life. Stalkers are no different than rapists and child molesters except their sexual cravings are fixated on one person. Since stalkers never change their behavior, and that it's sexually motivated, they should be required to register as sex offenders and closely monitored like every other convicted pervert. Better yet, keep stalkers, along with all other sex offenders, locked away for life.

36. If you ever watch DWTS, at the end of the credits it says CBS Production Studios. It is NOT uncommon that shows on other networks are taped elsewhere. Take "Scrubs" that used to be on NBC was taped on ABC studio lots. That is why ABC bought the rights to the show since it was taped there. The same goes for "Medium" which is also taped at ABC studios. Do you ever wonder why a show jumps networks? That is usually the rest why. I have to say some of you people are a "Box of rocks"

38. I have been to a taping of "Dancing with the Stars." Yes, it is an ABC show, but it is filmed on the CBS lot.

39. Sorry conspiracty theory fans --

Dancing with the stars is filmed in one of the many studios at the huge CBS Televsion City building in Hollywood. The studios in the building are rented out to whoever wants them. Where a show is filmed has nothing whatsoever to do with which network the show eventually is shown on. Check out the links below
