		</div><p>A homeless man has been found guilty of stalking pop star Harry Styles, after spending several months camped outside the singer’s house.</p>
<p>The Brit Award-winner was left feeling “scared” and “very uncomfortable” and was forced to deny offering him money for “fun” after being stalked by Pablo Tarazaga-Orero, a man he once “felt sorry for,” Hendon Magistrates Court heard.</p>
<p>On Monday, District Judge Nigel Deane said he found the charge of stalking, which took place between April and June this year, against the Spaniard, 26, proven.</p>
<p>The court heard Tarazaga-Orero slept outside the pop star’s house, and posted notes and money through his letterbox.</p>
<p>Mr Styles, 25, went to the police after the defendant’s “erratic and frightening behaviour” left him feeling insecure at home.</p>
<p>Speaking from behind a screen, the former One Direction star told the court on Monday: <em>“Pablo was sleeping outside of my residence, I first became aware of him in March.</em></p>
<p><em>“I thought it was sad that someone so young was sleeping rough at a bus stop when it was cold.”</em></p>
<p>On March 10, Mr Styles recounted: <em>“I pulled up in my car next to the bus stop and offered him some money so he could get a hotel or some food.”</em></p>
<p>On that occasion, Tarazaga-Orero asked if he could have some edamame beans because he is vegan, the court heard.</p>
<p>The defendant suggested the pop star propositioned him on that occasion, telling the court he had said “let’s come to a hotel, let’s have some fun’, or something like that”.</p>
<p>Mr Styles denied ever offering the man money for “fun”.</p>
<p>Judge Deane dismissed the defendant’s claims and found the musician to be a “reliable and credible witness”, adding: “It’s clear proof in my judgement that the defendant is lying about that aspect of the case.”</p>
<p>The next day, March 11, the actor went and bought Tarazaga-Orero two sandwiches, two salads, and two muffins from a vegan cafe, and decided to stop interacting with him following an “odd” incident.</p>
<p>Styles told the court: <em>“He asked me if I wanted to go to a restaurant to eat.</em></p>
<p><em>“I told him I was on my way to work.</em></p>
<p><em>“I found it a little odd. His facial expression made me feel a little uneasy.</em></p>
<p><em>“It was like a smirk.</em></p>
<p><em>“Until that point, I never felt unsafe or uneasy in my own home.”</em></p>
<p>Despite cutting contact with the man on the advice of his security staff, Mr Styles continued to see Tarazaga-Orero “incredibly often … almost every day”.</p>
<p>In April, Tarazaga-Orero posted change to the value of £49.95 through his letter box.</p>
<p>The star said he was also followed into a local pub a number of times, and was stopped on a run on May 30 when Tarazaga-Orero asked for money.</p>
<p>Tarazaga-Orero claimed he chose to sleep in Mr Styles’ neighbourhood after he became homeless in February because it felt safer than central London.</p>
<p>He said he could make up to £100 from the public each day, adding: <em>“I was surprised and many people helped me.”</em></p>
<p>When asked whether he had stalked the celebrity, Tarazaga-Orero said: <em>“That was never my intention. In the end I just wanted the money he offered me.</em></p>
<p><em>“I don’t have any interest in him.</em></p>
<p><em>“I don’t have any feelings for him.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’m not in love with him.”</em></p>
<p>The prosecution had said that Tarazaga-Orero’s stalking still has a “significant effect on [Styles’] day to day life”.</p>
<p>Mr Styles said: “<em>I never really encountered this kind of behaviour before.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve employed a night guard. I continue to lock my bedroom door at night.”</em></p>
<p>He also said he continues to check for “weak spots” in his home.</p>
