Judge keeps most limits on ex-Disney actor in teen sex case

A federal judge will allow a former Disney Channel actor to order groceries online while he’s awaiting trial on charges alleging he tried to have sex with a 13-year-old boy, but she rebuffed requests to further ease restrictions on his home detention.

A lawyer for 49-year-old actor Stoney Westmoreland asked a judge Tuesday to allow Westmoreland more time to run errands in traffic in Los Angeles, where he lives.

Salt Lake City-based Judge Evelyn Furse agreed only to a slight easing of his internet restrictions with an officer's approval.

Westmoreland was fired from his grandfather role on the made-in-Utah Disney Channel series "Andi Mack" after his December arrest.
