Dadig pleaded guilty to stalking eleven women and, in some cases, threatening them, though he only partly sees this as a problem.
At the end of last year, the lawsuit against US influencer Brett Dadig, who had been charged with harassing 11 women, started. Now we have a possible punishment.
Between Hitler Comparisons And "God’s Assassin"
In his videos and podcasts, the self-proclaimed dating coach not only talked about “true masculinity” and described every woman he met as an “absolute dream woman”; after his questionable behavior first became public, he also compared himself to Hitler and threatened women who rejected him, saying, among other things, that he was “God’s assassin.”
According to the indictment, Dadig harassed, insulted and threatened several women online over an extended period of time. The allegations range from aggressive messages and public insults to real-life stalking, showing up at workplaces and publishing private information – including threatening to break one of his victims’ jaws.
The Defendant’s Podcast Made Investigators’ Work Easier
He vented in his podcast about his lack of understanding as to why the women were not falling at his feet and about how he “took revenge” on them, which made it fairly easy for investigators and prosecutors to identify him as the culprit.
The women’s statements partly matched Dadig’s own accounts without gaps. In places where he deliberately left things out, the victims were able to support and confirm one another’s statements.
Up To 55 Years In Prison Or A $2.75 Million Fine
For Dadig himself, however, the case did not seem quite so clear-cut. In court, he emphasized that he had never been convicted before, and his lawyer stated that he was a mentally healthy college graduate with a loving, supportive family who were concerned about his health.
Nevertheless, on March 31, he pleaded guilty to 11 of the 14 charges and is now awaiting sentencing, which is scheduled for July 9. The judge emphasized that, for the charges to which Dadig pleaded guilty, he could face a total prison sentence of up to 55 years or a fine of up to 2.75 million US dollars.
