In his filing, Sandoval stated, “I am deeply concerned for my safety and well-being, and I need to regain access and control of my home, vehicle and possessions.” The judge granted the temporary restraining order and ordered both Victoria and J. Will Robinson to vacate the property.

He cited a May 14 incident in which Robinson allegedly punched him in the face and accused her of placing an Apple AirTag in his car to track his movements and hack into his phone and social media accounts. He also claimed that J. Will Robinson was “intoxicated on a daily basis” while living in the home.

Victoria Robinson’s father disputes Sandoval’s account
J. Will Robinson provided another account TMZ. “The DA didn’t file the case for a reason,” he said. “I lifted Tom away from my daughter because he overpowered and twisted her arm and tried to aggressively take her phone after yelling at us in a very aggressive and threatening manner.”
He also claimed the home is in Victoria’s name, not Sandoval’s, and said he was the one who called the police that night.
