Overview

  • In 2024, 38-year-old Swiss resident Steven S. subjected Davina Geiss to months of insults and death threats via Instagram amid his paranoid schizophrenia.
  • The Kulm District Court heard the case in late May with the Geiss family testifying remotely from Monaco.
  • The judge imposed a five-month prison term and 45 daily fines, all of which were deemed served after more than 300 days in pretrial detention.
  • The court also granted Steven S. 12,600 Swiss francs in compensation for the time he spent in custody.
  • Carmen Geiss condemned the ruling as too lenient, warning that it highlights failures in how Swiss authorities protect stalking victims with mental health issues.
