According to court papers, Jaffar was hoping to get face-to-face contact with Swift and, in attempting to do so, continued to arrive at the singer's Tribeca penthouse apartment - which she bought for $20 million in 2014 - even when told to stay away. On February 6, he managed to enter the building and lingered outside the front door to Swift's apartment, before taking to the roof of the property, in a visit that lasted four hours, confirmed by surveillance footage.
On a separate occasion, he is accused of ringing Swift's doorbell for an hour, as well as making 59 calls to Swift's management between January 27 and February 16 asking to be put directly in touch with her.

Swift's friend Gigi Hadid faced a similar situation in 2015 at her own New York property. Last October the man in question - Marcell Porter - was committed to a psychiatric facility by a Manhattan judge. Hadid sold the $2.45 million space soon after.
