Morgan Geyser, who stabbed her classmate at age 12 to appease the online horror figure Slender Man, has been released from a psychiatric hospital after a judge found her no longer a safety risk. Geyser has spent nearly seven years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute and made significant progress in her treatment. Experts testified to her improvement, and Judge Michael Bohren agreed to her release, ordering the state Department of Health Services to set up a plan for her supervised housing in a group home.
A Wisconsin woman who at age 12 stabbed her sixth grade classmate nearly to death to please online horror character Slender Man will be released from a psychiatric hospital, a judge ordered Thursday after a trio of experts testified that she has made considerable progress battling mental illness.
The judge said that her crime was a “brutal, terrible offense” but Geyser has since grown up and to be truly rehabilitated she must exist as part of society.Geyser and Anissa Weier were 12 years old in 2014 when they lured their classmate, Payton Leutner, to a Waukesha park after a sleepover. Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times while Weier egged her on. Leutner barely survived.
Weier pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree intentional homicide. She was also sent to the psychiatric center but was granted release in 2021 to live with her father and was ordered to wear a GPS monitor.
