Judge denies early release for infamous Slender Man stabber

Morgan Geyser looks on in court

Morgan Geyser looks on in Waukesha County Court after being denied conditional release on April 11, 2024 (Law&Crime Network).

Morgan Geyser, 21, the infamous Slender Man stabber, has been found to simply be far too dangerous to be released from a mental hospital.

“We come back to risk,” Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael O’Bohren said when explaining his decision. “This isn’t just an aspect where somebody drove a car into another car and drove off and let them sit there. This is a personal — a personal, if you will — a brutal attack on another person. This is hands-on, if you will. This is bloody; this is gory. But that kind of risk, that kind of dangerous conduct is what the risk is. Do we know if someone will repeat it? We don’t know.”

The court heard hours of testimony for and against Geyser’s potential release over the course of a two-day hearing.

In 2018, Geyser received a sentence of 40 years to life in a mental hospital in 2018, with the periodic possibility of early release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute where she has called home since shortly after the 2014 attempt on her friend, Payton Leutner’s, life.
