In July, a judge ruled that Weier was no longer a threat to society, but waited 60 days to have attorneys draft a plan for her conditional release, which he approved at Friday’s hearing. Prosecutors had countered that Weier was still immature and susceptible to dangerous influences, writing in court filings that there was no guarantee she wouldn’t attack someone again. Weier filed a petition for conditional release in March, arguing that she’d exhausted all of her treatment options at the hospital and claimed she’s no longer a threat to anyone, vowing that she would never “become a weapon again.” Weier, who was 12 years old at the time, was initially sentenced to 25 years at the facility after she was convicted of stabbing her classmate.

Teen appeals Slender Man stabbing to Wisconsin Supreme Court No one immediately replied to an email sent Wednesday to Sony’s general inbox for media inquiries.Judge approves early release for teen in ‘Slender Man’ stabbing He has grown into a popular boogeyman and has appeared in video games and online stories. He’s typically depicted as a slim, spidery figure in a black suit with a featureless white face that preys on children. Slender Man was created online by Eric Knudson in 2009 as a mysterious specter photo-edited into everyday images of children at play. Sheriff’s deputies said she started the fire after reading an e-book called “Soul Eater” and reading about Slender Man. In September of that same year, a 14-year-old girl in Port Richey, Florida, set her house on fire. The mother told WLWT-TV that she thought the girl was obsessed with Slender Man. Days after the Wisconsin stabbing, a 13-year-old girl in Hamilton County, Ohio, attacked her mother with a knife. Slender Man has been cited as a factor in other crimes.

Weier’s attorney as well as a spokesman for Leutner’s family didn’t immediately reply to emails. Geyser’s attorney, Anthony Cotton, declined to comment on the movie. Weier, now 16, was sentenced to 25 years in a mental institution last month after pleading guilty to attempted second-degree intentional homicide. Geyser, now 15, pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide in a deal with prosecutors, who have asked she get at least 40 years in a mental hospital when she’s sentenced in February. All three girls were 12 years old at the time of the attack. Geyser and Weier told detectives they had to kill Leutner to prove to Slender Man that they were worthy of being his servants as well as protect their families from him. Leutner managed to crawl out of the woods to a path where a passing bicyclist found her. There Geyser stabbed Leutner 19 times, narrowly missing her heart, while Weier urged her on. Geyser and Anissa Weier lured classmate Payton Leutner to a wooded Waukesha park in 2014.

Other scenes show Slender Man stalking a girl in the woods and a girl stabbing herself in the head with a scalpel in school, showering a classmate with blood.
