The harassment includes eight cases of molestation, one case of sexual molestation and two cases of unlawful threats.
The crime consists, among other things, in that he has written countless messages to Ingrosso via various accounts on Instagram and Snapchat for at least half a year – sometimes hundreds a day. Many of them hateful and sexually offensive.
He is also said to have moved 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 another occasion, he is said to have appeared outside the influencer's office and put his hand on her shoulder, and on yet another occasion, he waited for her in the lobby of the Grand Hotel for six hours.
Ingrosso: Is proud
”It's so damn nice that this nightmare is over, and that he won't be able to harass me or any other girl for a while now. I'm proud that I finally dared to report him and that he didn't get away with it”, says Bianca Ingrosso in a text message to TT.
Her mother Pernilla Wahlgren also expresses pride. On social media, she writes: ”You have been so brave and strong in this. You have stood up for yourself and for all those who are not taken seriously – even when you sometimes felt that you couldn't cope.”
The convicted man seems to have believed that he and Ingrosso had a romantic relationship. In his messages, it appears that he became jealous when she followed other men on social media or was seen with someone in public. Then the man is said to have become angry and threatening and accused her of being unfaithful.
He himself denies the allegations. In interrogations, he has claimed that they had a consensual relationship that began after they met at a nightclub. But according to Ingrosso, they have only met twice, and then in connection with his harassment.
Out around Christmas
At the same time, he has forfeited a conditional sentence after a previous conviction for assault and threats against a public official, and he must now serve the remaining 152 days. In total, it's about ten months in prison. Since he has been detained since May 23, the sentence counts from then, which means that he can expect to be conditionally released after two-thirds, sometime around Christmas.
The district court assesses the risk of continued crime as ”very clear”.
