Ariana Grande’s stalker Aharon Zebulun Israel Brown has been sentenced to three years and eight months in prison.
Brown broke into Grande’s Hollywood Hills estate at least 92 times in 2021 — including once while armed with a hunting knife.
Although she then obtained a five-year restraining order against him, he was undeterred and trespassed on her property in Montecito in 2022.
This week, Santa Barbara County District Attorney John T. Savrnoch announced that Brown has pleaded guilty to first-degree residential burglary, making criminal threats and stalking someone who had a restraining order out against him.
His sentence has already been determined and will be officially handed out on May 3, according to a press release from the district attorney’s office.

In addition to the prison sentence, Brown will also be given a restraining order that will be in effect for ten years this time.
Not only is he prohibited from being in Grande’s physical presence, but he is also prohibited from contacting her.
Brown made his way to Grande’s Hollywood Hills mansion more than 90 times over a seven-month period from February to September 2021.
In September, Brown entered the property and brandished a hunting knife while yelling at Grande’s security, “I’ll kill you and her!”
He tried to run away when police were called to the scene, but the altercation ended when he was taken into custody.
Grande obtained a five-year restraining order against Brown and sold the Hollywood Hills mansion for $14 million a month after the knifepoint burglary.
Brown’s obsession with her was apparently unquenchable, as between May 26 and June 26, 2022, he sent her threatening messages on Instagram.
He broke into her Montecito home on June 26, using a screwdriver to cut her phone lines and the wires to her alarm system.

Grande was not on the property at the time of the home invasion, which culminated in police prying Brown out of a crawl space with the help of a K-9.
When authorities investigated Brown, they discovered the extensive search history that went into his stalking regime.
Brown had apparently used the Internet to find her address and figure out how to bypass her security system.
He was also apparently fixated on the singer’s home and work life and had more than 2,000 videos or images of Grande in his possession.
