A man who broke into ’s home almost 100 times has pleaded guilty to charges of stalking, residential burglary and making criminal threats.
Aharon Zebulun Brown admitted the charges stemming from incidents in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles County dating from 2021.
He is now facing three years and eight months in a California state prison ahead of his sentencing.

However, he’s said to have breached the order and another break-in occurred in June 2022 when he was found by police hiding in the crawlspace underneath the singer’s home in Montecito, California.
Grande was not at home at the time of the incident.
At the time she applied for the original restraining order, Grande stated to the court that she was ‘terrified’ of Brown and his obsessive behaviour.
In a written statement, Grande claimed Brown had gone to her property ‘nearly every day and sometimes multiple times a day.’
She added: ‘The fact that Mr Brown has been regularly coming to my home for over six months terrifies me.
‘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.’
Brown will be sentenced in May.
