One of the notorious “Slender Man” stabbers who left a young girl nearly dead from more than a dozen knife wounds a decade ago is being released from prison - coincidentally, not long after she began “identifying” as a trans male.
Morgan Geyser was only 12 years old when she and Anissa Weier, who was also 12 at the time, lured a classmate into the woods and stabbed her 19 times before leaving her for dead back in 2014, in a shocking attack later linked to a bizarre fictional character called “Slender Man” that had originated as a creepypasta Internet meme. To this day, it's not entirely known why the girls chose to carry out the attack.
Both assailants were charged as adults with first-degree attempted intentional homicide. The victim, identified as 12-year-old Peyton Leutner, miraculously survived the attack. Geyser was convicted but found not guilty by reason of insanity, and was given a 40-year sentence at a nearby psychiatric facility.
Now, just over 10 years later, a judge has ruled that now-22-year-old Geyser will be released early from the mental health facility where she’s been staying. The ruling gives the state 60 days to come up with a supervised release plan that will transfer Geyser to a group home.
The would-be-murderer’s psychologist explained to the judge this week that Geyser, who showed up to in court with a close-cropped, half-shaved head, now “identifies” as a transgender male, according to the Daily Mail.

In 2022, roughly eight years after she nearly stabbed a girl to death, Geyser admitted she’d faked symptoms of insanity following her crime. But Dr. Brooke Lundbohm, a psychologist who has worked with Geyser for years, told the judge this week that “There appears to be a stepping back from claims she had faked symptoms…They have essentially abated.”
"At this point I am in favor, or in support, of her petition for release. Specifically, I don't think she currently poses a significant risk of substantial harm to herself, others or to property damage," Lundbohm told the judge on a Zoom call.
The doctor told the court that Geyer’s “acute symptoms of psychosis have faded for more than three years to a point,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Other than, apparently, the fact that she now believes she’s a dude. So there's that.
With her release to another, more lax group home for mental health care, Geyser won’t face any actual prison time for having all-but gutted a classmate and leaving her to die in the woods.
Dr. Deborah Collins, another psychologist, testified that given her violent history, Geyser will always pose a higher risk for violence to others - but that she should receive “conditional release” anyway because she's "thought through" her future plans, including further mental health services and even getting a job. Which I'm hoping won't be at, you know, a daycare.
"There still remains, and always remains, for Miss Geyser, in fact, some historical risk factors that place her at elevated risk for violence as compared to an individual who did not stab a peer 19 times over 10 years ago," she said. "But when we look at dynamic factors that can be changed and are amenable to treatment, then her history in the last 10 years also demonstrate several protective factors that she has, and factors about her that are amenable to intervention and treatment, and at this juncture I believe make her ready for conditional release.”
Well sure - she said she was a guy, which is pretty much a golden ticket in 2025.
Oh - and it should be noted that the family of the little girl who was stabbed half to death and then abandoned to die objected to Geyser being released. Not that that mattered to anyone, apparently.
