Witch wins protective order against warlock in Salem court

BOSTON -- A judge granted a protective order against a warlock Wednesday, spelling relief for the Salem witch who accused him of harassment.

The two faced off in court before a Salem District Court judge, who granted the protective order to witch priestess Lori Sforza. She had accused self-proclaimed warlock Christian Day of harassing her over the phone and on social media over the past three years.

During testimony that at times became heated, Sforza accused Day of making incessant phone calls and humiliating her on Facebook. Day's lawyer countered the dispute stems from a business partnership that fell apart. Day and Sforza both run occult shops in Salem.

According to WBZ-TV, Sforza said she has known Day for 27 years and was a business partner with him in 2009, adding she "treated him like a son." Outside the courthouse, Day said trouble started in 2012 when Sforza split to open her own business.
