Following the series of troubling incidents, Brown (25) has been charged with stalking, residential burglary, and making criminal threats to the 30-year-old pop singer in California. Brown may face up to three years in prison and has been issued with ten years of restraining order.
Stalker Who Broke Into Ariana Grande's Home 92 Times Faces Conviction
On Thursday, John Savrnoch, a District Attorney in Santa Barbara County found a 25-year-old man named Aharon Zebulun Israel Brown guilty of stalking, burglarising, and throwing death threats to popular singer Ariana Grande. However, the final verdict will not be coming till May as per the court's order.
Brown is subjected to face three years and eight months behind bars in state prison and will also be charged with 10-year restraining orders from the singer while the singer is facing a 5-year restraining order from Brown.
The Thank You Next singer has been the survivor of distressing stalking since 2021. In June 2021, Brown broke into the singer's house with a weapon and allegedly tampered with the security system with a screwdriver. Brown was also arrested the same night for engaging in a brawl with one of the security personnel of Grande he was screaming and threatening to kill.
In a written statement, the Disney actor shared that Brown started appearing at her house initially slowly but it escalated to him appearing at her house almost every day and sometimes multiple times a day.
As reported by Rolling Stone, in a letter to court 7 Rings singer wrote, “The fact that Mr. Brown has been regularly coming to my home for over six months terrifies me,” she continued, “Based on his threats, I am fearful for my safety and for the safety of my family, I fear that absent a restraining order, Mr. Brown will continue to come to my home and attempt to physically harm or murder me or members of my family.”
This case underscores the critical need for mental health resources and support systems for individuals struggling with obsessive or delusional behaviour. It also highlights the importance of respecting boundaries and privacy, particularly for public figures who often face heightened levels of scrutiny and intrusion.
