US-based Julie Lee Choi allegedly harassed Apple CEO to have sex last year but eventually agreed to stay away from the rich man.
He reportedly signed a negotiating agreement with Apple during his appearance in the Santa Clara County Supreme Court. Tim Cook was absent from the session in San Jose, California.
Choi has agreed to stay away from Cook for the next three years. The agreement also requires him to avoid coming within 200 yards from the CEO of Apple within the next three years.
Additionally, you have been denied access to Cook by any electronic means, including Twitter accounts or emails.
The woman and Apple declined to comment on the matter after the trial.
The story goes back to 2020 when it was reported that Choi began sending an email to Cook urging her to have sex with him. “I can no longer live like this,” Cook wrote in one of his emails. “I’m having sex with you, please,” he said to another.
Even after the CEO of Apple publicly stated that he was gay, Choi did not worry much and in one of his emails he told Cook, “Tim, we are destined for our lives”.
The company issued a temporary restraining order against him in January stating that he had once attached pictures of guns to his messages and insisted that Cook had made him buy them.
The same source also revealed that Choi had set up several companies trying to link him to Cook, sometimes listing Apple’s office as headquarters.
Apple sued Choi in September last year after sharing his plans to apply for a stay at his Palo Alto, California home.
Later in October, Choi appeared outside Cook’s home and once said he could be “violent,” notes court documents. Also in December, Choi told Cook he would forgive her if she received $ 500 million.
A few weeks later, Apple sought a temporary restraining order on the application that Choi may be armed “and intends to return to the Apple CEO’s residence or find him otherwise”.
The company recently revealed to its shareholders that it had paid more than $ 630,000 for security measures designed to protect the CEO last year.
