The attacker who stabbed their 12-year-old classmate in the infamous "Slender Man" case will be released after spending years in a mental hospital.

A Wisconsin woman who at age 12 stabbed her sixth grade classmate nearly to death to please online horror character Slender Man will be released from a psychiatric hospital, a judge ordered Thursday after a trio of experts testified that she has made considerable progress battling mental illness.

A judge granted Geyser's conditional release on Thursday. Here's how an attorney said the process could shake out.

A woman who, at age 12, brutally stabbed her classmate to appease the online horror figure Slender Man is set to be released from a psychiatric hospital.

Morgan Geyser tried to kill her classmate Peyton Leutner when they were 12 years old Morgan Geyser, who at the age of 12 stabbed her classmate to impress the mythical internet figure "Slender Man," will be released from a psychiatric hospital after her latest bid for release.

Morgan Geyser, who stabbed Payton Leutner in 2014 in an effort to please the fictional character Slender Man, is set to be released from a Wisconsin psychiatric hospital, a judge ruled Jan. 9.

Morgan Geyser was 12 when she and another girl stabbed their classmate 19 times to please the online boogeyman; now 22, Geyser will be released to a group home and reenter society.

Morgan Geyser, now 22, was convicted of brutally stabbing a classmate to appease a fictional character called Slender Man.

A Wisconsin judge granted an early conditional release Thursday to Morgan Geyser, who was convicted of stabbing her childhood friend more than a decade ago.
