A former Boston College student admitted Thursday that she encouraged her boyfriend to commit suicide as part of a plea deal that spares her jail time, officials said.
Inyoung You, 23, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Suffolk County Superior Court in Boston for the death of her then-boyfriend Alexander Urtula, who took his own life on the day of his college graduation in 2019, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
Judge Robert Ullmann sentenced You to 10 years of probation during which time she must complete community service and continue mental health treatment. If she does not comply with the terms of her probation, she will face 2 ½ years in prison.
She is also barred from profiting from the case. A photo of Urtula with his nephews was displayed in the courtroom and members of his family read a statement. The 22-year-old victim was from Cedar Grove, New Jersey.
