A Jennifer Lawrence Stalker Arrested: The Canadian Man Is Held On $100,000 Bail After Allegedly Leaving 200 Voicemails To The Actresses Brother

A Jennifer Lawrence stalker arrested and held on $100,000 bail until his July 23 trial.

Cong Zhao, 23, a Chinese-born Canadian citizen, is the alleged Jennifer Lawrence stalker arrested. Zhao allegedly left 200 voicemails on Lawrence's brother, Blaine Lawrence's cell phone, asking about the actress over and over again, according to PerezHilton.com.

The Jennifer Lawrence stalker arrested allegedly left a threating voicemail after to the "Hunger Games" brother he flew down to Louisville, close to where Jennifer Lawrence lives, which PerezHilton reported.

 "I find you or you come to me. You got me really upset, when I am upset, wait and see what happens," the threat said.

District Judge Annette Karem ordered Zhao to be held on $100,000 bond until his July 23rd trial, as she said "the victims are in serious danger."

When public defender Erin Melchior questioned the judge to get the case over with because of the people involved, the judge decided to give her opinion on Melchior's comments.

 "Excuse me - fix things? I take serious offense at that statement. I know you are vehemently advocating for your client and I understand that. But I want you to understand there is no citizen in this community who is any more important than any other. Maybe from the outside looking in that is what it may seem. My concern is based solely on the facts of this case."

In a statement from attorney Brad Hume, the Lawrence family expressed their appreciation for the "responsiveness and professionalism" of the Indiana Hills Police Department and the county attorney, but also are adamant that:

"Beyond that the Lawrences asked that their privacy be respected. This is not something they invited.

Zhao was released on May 8th, charged with stalking and harassment at first, but that did not stop him from the allegations against him for his threats and stalking.
