A 35-year-old Harry Styles fan has reportedly received a prison sentence for stalking the Grammy-winning singer.
Myra Carvalho, who is from Brazil but has been living in a London hostel since December, was sentenced on Friday to 14 weeks in prison, according to U.K. outlets including The Guardian and The BBC. She was also reportedly banned from contacting Styles, 30, or attending any of his performances for 10 years.
She pleaded guilty on Tuesday to stalking involving serious alarm or distress, according to The Guardian, and was also ordered to pay a £134 (approximately $165) victim surcharge.
Per the Guardian, prosecutors previously told the court that Carvalho sent the "Don't Worry Darling" actor 8,000 cards, including handwritten letters. Some of the communications were hand-delivered to his London home.
USA TODAY has reached out to Styles' rep and Hendon magistrates court for comment.
'Harry's House' album review:Harry Styles taps into synths, funk and loneliness in a dazzling album
This is not the first time the former One Direction singer, who won album of the year in 2023 for his third album, "Harry's House," has dealt with a stalker.
In 2019, Pablo Tarazaga-Orero, 26, was barred from going near Styles and posting about the star on social media after he was convicted of stalking Styles. The singer claimed in court that Tarazaga-Orero had camped outside his home in London for two months, sent him notes and money via his mailbox and tried to grab Styles while he was running in a park at one point.
Styles told the court Tarazaga-Orero's behavior left him "scared" and "very uncomfortable" in his home. The incidents stemmed from an interaction in which Styles allegedly bought Tarazaga-Orero food after seeing him sleeping at a bus stop near his house.
Before his conviction, the defendant had denied the charge, claiming Styles had propositioned him and offered him money.
Styles – who wrapped his most recent world tour, Love on Tour, last summer after nearly two years and more than 150 shows – has been spotted enjoying various sporting events in his time off from touring.
He was among the celebrities spotted at the Masters Tournament earlier this month in Georgia and was photographed at a soccer match between Manchester United and Luton Town in London last month.
