The trial against the man, who is charged with harassment, has begun in the Stockholm District Court. The man is alleged to have written countless messages to her via Instagram and Snapchat – sometimes hundreds a day. Many of them were offensive and hateful.
In the morning, he is very happy and loving and believes in our future. In the afternoon, it turns into him starting to stalk and list everything I've done, then the stalking level becomes uncomfortable. In the afternoons, he is sour and angry and I'm a whore, says Bianca Ingrosso at the trial, writes Aftonbladet.
He will never stop and he will harass me until I'm on the ground, she continues.
”Unfaithful”
Judging from the evidence, the man appears to have believed that he and Ingrosso had a romantic relationship. The police investigation reveals that the man became jealous when Ingrosso followed other men on social media or was seen with someone in public. Then he is said to have become angry and threatening and accused her of being unfaithful.
According to the indictment, he is alleged to have, among other things, sent porn and a clip where he smashes furniture to her, as well as threatened to kick in her door.
In court, Ingrosso says that she is used to threats and harassment and that she has never reported it before, but that the defendant's messages stood out.
Not mentally disturbed
The 38-year-old is also suspected of having been outside Bianca Ingrosso's residence several times. On one occasion, he is said to have sat in a car and honked outside her home for 40 minutes. On one occasion, he is said to have appeared outside the influencer's office.
He is also said to have waited in the entrance to the Grand Hotel in Stockholm for several hours after seeing on Instagram that Ingrosso was there for a massage, and interpreted it as an invitation, according to the police investigation.
A forensic psychiatric investigation concluded in June that the man shows no signs of mental disorder, either at the time of the alleged offenses or during the examination.
The defendant denies the allegations.
The trial is ongoing for two days.
