CBSN
The Wisconsin woman who at age 12 said she stabbed a sixth-grade classmate nearly to death to please the online horror character Slender Man will stay in a psychiatric hospital after a local judge denied her request for release with conditions.
In January, Morgan Geyser, now 21, requested early release from her 40-year commitment to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where she has been held since 2018.
Waukesha County Judge Michael Bohren on Thursday denied Geyer's petition, deciding that there was a significant risk that Geyser could harm herself or others.
