Ryan Seacrest 'stalker' pleads not guilty

Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr has reportedly pleaded not guilty to charges of stalking Ryan Seacrest.

According to E!, Uzomah entered the plea to one count of felony stalking and two misdemeanour counts of violating a court order to stay away from the American Idol presenter.

He also pleaded not guilty to the stalking charges last November.

He was arraigned again on Tuesday after the case was moved to a different court.

A judge granted the permanent restraining order barring Uzomah to come within 100 yards of Seacrest after he entered the E! network's building with a knife last year.
