A man who posted a Facebook message threatening women in retaliation for years of romantic rejection is sentenced to up to five years in prison in Utah.
A man who posted a Facebook message threatening to kill"as many girls as I see" in retaliation for years of romantic rejection was sentenced Thursday to up to five years in prison.
Johnson said the incident clearly warranted prison time and that she didn't feel comfortable relying on Colorado to keep Cleary locked up. She said Utah's board of pardons can decide if Cleary should be transferred to Colorado. His attorney, Dustin Parmley, said Cleary was ashamed of his actions and has long had issues controlling his impulses to say inappropriate things. He said Cleary had a troubled childhood and was diagnosed with mental health issues at age 10, though he didn't elaborate. Parmley said Cleary bounced between group homes and mental health hospitals during his childhood.
Deputy Utah County Attorney Douglas Finch called Cleary a"disturbing young man" but said he was fine with the agreement because Colorado prosecutors indicated they would make sure Cleary would serve prison time in that state.
