Kenyan content creator and US-based model Elsa Majimbo recently revealed that she has been living in fear for the past eight months due to a persistent stalker. In a statement, Elsa described the individual as a ‘psycho’ who has been following and harassing her, particularly in a Mercedes G wagon. Stalking, considered a misdemeanor in many jurisdictions, involves a pattern of obsessive behavior where the perpetrator relentlessly follows the victim, causing fear for their safety. Despite informing authorities in Beverly Hills, where Elsa resides, she claimed that no action has been taken, with law enforcement suggesting that it is challenging to prove stalking unless it escalates to physical harm.
While Elsa has taken measures such as calling 911 on multiple occasions, the stalking incidents continue, leading her to express her distress publicly. Fans and followers on social media urged her to take the matter seriously, but Elsa dismissed the idea of relocating to another city, asserting that Beverly Hills is her home. In her area of residence, covered by the Stalking Law in Hollywood, stalking is explicitly prohibited, and even two incidents can be sufficient for a criminal charge. A misdemeanor conviction for stalking in Hollywood can result in up to a year in jail and fines of up to $1,000.
Elsa Majimbo gained popularity during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic through her humorous short skits. Despite her fame and success, she finds herself facing a serious and distressing situation with her stalker, highlighting the challenges individuals may encounter when dealing with such threats and the limitations of current legal frameworks in addressing the issue effectively.
