“Slender Man” Defendant Will Spend 40 Years In Mental Hospital

The second defendant in the 2014 “Slender Man” attack has been sentenced to spend 40 years in a mental institution.  Judge Michael Bohren decided 15-year-old Morgan Geyser is still a risk to harm herself, or others, and he gave her the maximum.  Geyser and Anissa Weier lured a classmate into a Waukesha park three years ago and stabbed her 19 times.  Payton Leuther survived.  Geyser and Weier admitted trying to kill Leuther in an effort to please a fictional horror character called “Slender Man.”
