Judge Grants Tom Sandoval Temporary Restraining Orders as Video Shows Him Push Ex’s Father Into Fire Pit

The court temporarily ordered Victoria Lee Robinson and her father to leave Sandoval’s Los Angeles home, keep roughly 100 yards away, and surrender firearm access pending a July 16 hearing.

Overview

  • A June 3 altercation at Sandoval’s Los Angeles rental led to Victoria Lee Robinson’s arrest and footage that appears to show Tom Sandoval pushing her father, J. Will Robinson, into a lit fire pit.
  • Sandoval filed for domestic violence restraining orders saying he suffered months of verbal and physical abuse and submitted photos and medical complaints, including blurred vision and an ER visit.
  • A judge granted Sandoval temporary orders requiring Victoria and her father to vacate the home, stay about 100 yards from his home, work and vehicle, and bar them from possessing firearms while the orders remain in effect.
  • Will Robinson filed a counter-petition after the video surfaced, alleging serious injuries including a ruptured disc and broken bones and asking the court to keep Sandoval away from him and his daughter.
  • Both civil petitions remain active and a Los Angeles Superior Court hearing is scheduled for July 16, with prosecutors and the court set to review the evidence and decide whether further charges or longer-term orders follow.
