Accused stalker of Taylor Swift in NYC ruled mentally unfit for trial

A Seattle man, David Crowe, accused of repeatedly showing up outside Taylor Swift’s New York City townhouse has been found mentally unfit to stand trial and has been committed to psychiatric care. Crowe was arrested for unlawful visits to Swift’s home in January, including attempted break-ins and violating a judge’s order to stay away. Crowe’s lawyer requested a mental competency exam, leading to the decision that he is too ill to proceed with trial. Crowe will now receive necessary treatment instead of jail time. This incident is one of a series of incidents involving Swift and stalkers, with others threatening her and attempting to break into her homes. Taylor Swift remains a target for stalkers who have attempted to access her properties in both New York and other locations around the country. Swift, currently on tour in Japan, is facing ongoing security threats from individuals who are obsessed with her. The incidents highlight the dangers and challenges faced by high-profile celebrities like Swift who are often the targets of unwanted attention and harassment from fans and stalkers.
