A 25-year-old man has been charged with stalking television personality Ryan Seacrest, the host of hit reality singing show "American Idol", prosecutors in Los Angeles said Monday.

A statement from the Los Angeles District Attorney's office said Chidi Benjamin Uzomah, would be arraigned on Tuesday on felony charges of stalking Seacrest during September and October.

Uzomah was arrested last Friday at a television studio in Beverly Hills where Seacrest records a daily television show.

Uzomah had pleaded guilty in September to attacking Seacrest's security guard and was ordered to stay away from the radio and television host.

Uzomah is also alleged to have appeared at the offices of Los Angeles radio station KIIS FM on October 2 looking for Seacrest.

If convicted, he faces up to four years in state prison, prosecutors said.
