Overview

  • The Hilo Family Court order bars any contact and requires Penn to stay 100 yards from his mother’s home and workplace and 100 feet at neutral locations, leaving immediately if they cross paths.
  • All direct communication is prohibited by phone, written or electronic means, with contact permitted only in court, through attorneys, or for service of legal documents.
  • The protection is retroactive to May 26, 2025 and runs through May 26, 2026 after the judge chose a one-year term instead of the two years sought by Lorraine Shin.
  • Shin’s filings describe extreme psychological abuse, missing belongings and home-security tampering, and report that Penn claims relatives were killed and replaced by imposters.
  • Police have arrested Penn multiple times in recent weeks, including for alleged violations of a temporary order, and no additional court hearings are currently scheduled.
