One of two Wisconsin women sent to a state mental hospital for the so-called Slender Man attack on another girl eight years ago has withdrawn her request for release.
All three girls were 12 years old at the time. In June, Morgan Geyser, who’s now 20, asked a judge for her release. Her request followed the release of the co-defendant in the same case, Anissa Weier, who had spent four years at a mental health facility in Oshkosh. Geyser withdrew her request for release after she received a doctor’s report on her condition. Geyser and Weier were ordered to 40 years in a mental hospital following their attack on Payton Leutner in Waukesha in 2014. Leutner survived the attack.
The two girls claimed they attacked Leutner to appease the horror character called Slender Man.
