A man accused of stalking Taylor Swift and breaking into her New York apartment block has been jailed for six months. Mohammed Jaffar pleaded guilty to attempted burglary in the second degree, according to US prosecutors.
The 29-year-old from Michigan called the singer's management company 59 times between January and February 2017, leaving voicemails asking to speak to her. He also entered her apartment building and was seen on video in the hallway and on the roof.
As well as imprisonment, Jaffar was sentenced to five years' probation with a condition he receives ongoing mental health treatment. He was initially charged with stalking and two counts of burglary but did not plead guilty to those charges.
The case is the latest in a series of incidents involving the singer. In April, 22-year-old Roger Alvarado allegedly broke into her New York home and took a nap, while a 38-year-old man was arrested outside her Beverly Hills home on suspicion of stalking earlier that month.
