Tom Kaulitz
In late 2008- early 2009, several female stalkers pursued the band relentlessly, even following Tom Kaulitz to his parent’s home in Germany and attacked the twins’ mother. The issue seemed to end after Tom allegedly hit one of the stalkers at a gas station in April 2009 and drove off. However, an article in Bild stated that the issue had resurfaced and that Tom Kaulitz may stand trial for assault. In late December 2009, the charges against himself - against the girl he allegedly hit - on grounds of stalking. Kaulitz cited a break - in their home in Germany as a deciding factor in  their move to the United States.
