=== Stalkers ===
In 1997, a man named Jonathan Norman stalked Spielberg and attempted to enter his home; Norman was jailed for 25 years. Prosecutors described Norman as "sexually obsessed" with the director. Spielberg told the court he feared Norman intended to "rape or maim him" and there was a [[rape kit]].<ref>{{cite news |date=June 17, 1998 |title=Spielberg stalker jailed |work=[[BBC News]] |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/114988.stm |access-date=December 11, 2011 |archive-date=August 18, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170818060802/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/114988.stm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Sylvester |first=Sherri |date=February 26, 1998 |title=Spielberg recounts fears, anguish over alleged stalker |work=[[CNN]] |url=http://edition.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9802/26/spielberg.stalker/ |access-date=December 11, 2011 |archive-date=August 7, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807115729/http://edition.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9802/26/spielberg.stalker/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2001, Spielberg was stalked by [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theorist]] and former social worker Diana Napolis.
