Jennifer Garner's Alleged Stalker Arrested Near Violet's Nursery School

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 15th 2009 06:53AM

A man long accused of stalking 'Alias' star Jennifer Garner was arrested Monday for violating a restraining order after he was found creeping around the Santa Monica nursery school attended by the star's daughter, Violet Affleck.

Steven Burky was picked up around 9 a.m. after officers observed him loitering in an alley near the school, RadarOnline.com is reporting.

Garner was granted a restraining order against Burky in 2008 after she convinced a judge that he was endangering her family, which also includes husband Ben Affleck. In a declaration, Garner said the man had been stalking and harassing me" since 2002 and typically sent "packages and letters containing delusional and paranoid thoughts."

She claimed Burky was "following me around the country" and that "his obsessive and harassing behavior has escalated to the point of becoming dangerous and threatening."

Other bizarre rantings described by Garner include: "He has now shown up at my private residence and has repeatedly expressed his belief that God has sent him a vision of me being persecuted in some manner that might result in my death."

The Santa Monica Daily Press is reporting that Burky writes a blog titled Satanic Pani and asks, "Are multitudes of adults resorting to human sacrifices and then repressing this information from fear of Christ."

Burky was being held on $150,000 bail.

I know Kate Hudson is single, but she is SUCH A HO. How many men has she introduced her son to since her divorce? Disgusting example of a mom and single woman.

Is it me, or does he look like her? Face shape, nose, etc......creepy.

Jennifer needs to give him a karate kick where it would hurt the most!!!

The judicial system has let the victims down. Nothing will change until a law is passed making the judge more responsible for their actions.

I guess the only thing that CAN be done and SHOULD be done is that the rest of US stalk HIM and when we find him, take him out in the middle of the street and rip him apart...LITERALLY! It's amazing though that HE would have more rights if we were to do that, but it's *ok* if he torments and/or kills an innocent person. Somehow I think killing this b*st*rd, and all like him would be WELL worth it! What I would like to know is why does he have the right to know where these people live, work each day, where their children go to school, etc? Why shouldn't Jennifer and her family, and those like her, have a right to privacy and not let this crap out in the media? If this guy is finding all this out himself, why isn't anyone DOING anything about him?! Are there any such thing as LAWS in this messed-up country?! What are we fighting for in this country anyways?! Anyone would be a fool to do so if this is all law-abiding citizens mean to this country!

If you ask me, I would bet he is gay. He sure looks like it and that would explain his hatred of women. If he enjoys following people all over the place, staying up all day and night and traveling, wanting to act out his anger problem, then send him over to Iraq or Afghanistan or better yet, throw him in the bad areas of Africa and let the militia group rape his arse and torture him to death!

This guy should be locked up & the key flushed...When are the authorities gonna get their heads out -- when Violet is dead by the side of a highway???
As for the resemblance, maybe he had his face fixed to resemble her...
Where are Jack Bristow & Michael Vaughn when she needs 'em?? Not to mention Sloane...take him to the "Conversation Room"...
