Amy Dupont files for restraining order against Zach Brown

A local tv anchorwoman is seeking a restraining order against someone who has been sending her harassing emails. Channel 19 morning news anchor Amy Dupont has been receiving nasty emails for about a year now. Never threatening, but harassing, with comments derogatory about her, and her on-air work. After putting up with the nasty comments for awhile, she searched the name of the person who signed them. And the name was that of a registered sex offender. That was when Dupont got the police involved. They subpoenaed the IP address of the computer from where the mean-spirited emails originated. And they discovered the source of those emails was not a registered sex offender, but in fact came from an internet address registered to her partner on WXOW's morning news program, Zach Brown. AWKWARD! Now Dupont is seeking a restraining order against her morning partner, which would seemingly make it a bit difficult for them to work together. But that may be a moot point. The WXOW website no longer contains any information about the man she claims worked alongside her every morning, but then allegedly went home and sent her nasty emails. A court hearing on the restraining order is scheduled tomorrow.
