Swedish Ski Champion Frida Karlsson Targeted by Alleged Stalker Over 11 Months

The alleged stalker, a man in his 60s, faces charges of unlawful persecution and violating a restraining order, with the trial set to begin next week.

• The alleged stalker sent over 200 offensive messages to Karlsson and was seen near her home multiple times despite a restraining order.
• He reportedly amassed over 7,000 photos of Karlsson, many taken from her Instagram profile, and believed her social media posts were directed at him.
• In late 2024, the man traveled to Tenerife, where Karlsson was training, under the belief that they were friends and could meet.
• The stalker also contacted Karlsson's mother and manager after being blocked and ignored, claiming his actions were artistic in nature.
• Frida Karlsson has not made any public statements about the case, which highlights broader concerns about stalking and the misuse of social media.
