Man charged with stalking Jennifer Lawrence’s kin

Court documents show that a Canadian man is facing charges that he stalked the brother of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence.

Twenty-three-year-old Zhao Han Cong of Vancouver, British Columbia, was ordered Friday to remain held until he could undergo a psychiatric examination to determine if the case against him can proceed.

FBI agents in Louisville, Kentucky, charged Cong on Monday with interstate stalking and repeated harassing phone communications.

Cong's attorney, public defender Donald J. Meier, requested the psychiatric exam. Cong has not yet entered a plea.

FBI Special Agent Richard Boswell III wrote in an affidavit that  Cong started contacting "B.L.," who is identified in a related state court record as the actress' brother Blaine Lawrence, on April 4. Boswell writes that Lawrence received numerous phone calls  and text messages from Cong.
