Breaks contact ban against Frida Karlsson – indicted again

A man previously convicted of stalking Swedish ski star Frida Karlsson has been indicted again for allegedly violating a restraining order. The accused reportedly attempted to contact Karlsson multiple times in September and October 2025 by calling her, sending text messages, and reaching out via Instagram.

We felt it was important to report it when it happened again.

According to the indictment, the man also contacted Karlsson's mother, Mia Karlsson. "We felt it was important to report it when it happened again," Mia Karlsson told Expressen, referring to the new charges.

This is stalking affects many, especially women, so I'm doing this for them too.

In April 2025, the man was sentenced to a conditional discharge and a fine of 40,000 Swedish kronor for unlawful stalking. He had pursued Karlsson for over a year, reportedly calling her 207 times and sending numerous voice and text messages. "Stalking affects many, especially women, so I'm doing this for them too," Frida Karlsson had previously stated about why she reported the man.

“

I have said my piece and it feels good that I have taken up the issue. It feels strong of me. But I also feel that I try not to focus on it too much, to protect myself.

Both the convicted man and the prosecutor have appealed the earlier verdict to a higher court, though it remains uncertain if the case will be heard. Karlsson has spoken about the toll the ordeal has taken, telling Dagens Nyheter in November that while she felt strong for speaking out, she tries to protect herself by not focusing too much on the situation. "I think subconsciously I've had a bit of an awakening in a way. I grew up very, very trusting. I come from a small town, Sollefteå, and have really only believed the best of people. And I still do, my attitude towards people is still that they mean well, but I also know that there are exceptions." The accused denies the new charges.
