Playboy Playmate Claire Sinclair is seeking a restraining order against Hugh Hefner's son, Martson Hefner, after the younger Hef -- Sinclair's on-and-off boyfriend of a year and a half -- allegedly beat her at their home in Pasadena on Sunday night.

' that SInclair, 20, went to the police yesterday to get an emergency restraining order.

Marston, 21, posted $20,000 bail early Monday morning after being taken into custody on charges of domestic violence. Police arrested Marston after they responded to a call from Sinclair's family members and discovered that she had bruises and red marks on her body.
