Karen Read trial: Lawyers could hand case to jury by Friday, they say

A 45-year-old Colorado man is accused of stalking and harassing Taylor Swift, according to a temporary restraining order filed by the music icon in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Brian Jason Wagner has continued to show up at Swift’s LA home since July 2024 and claimed he was living there, that he was in a relationship with Swift and that she was the mother of his son, according to NBC News.

A judge granted Swift a temporary restraining order against Wagner on Monday, USA Today reported.

Swift told the court she fears for her and her family’s safety, and his escalating behavior in recent weeks creates a fear of imminent harm.

According to court records, Wagner’s criminal history in Colorado includes pleading guilty to misdemeanor motor vehicle theft in Jefferson County and felony forgery and misdemeanor theft in Clear Creek County, all in 2023.

Swift has previously dealt with harassment in Colorado, including a former radio DJ who was found liable in a federal civil trial for groping her before a 2013 concert in Denver.

This is a developing story and may be updated.
