Hopefully during those 9 years he’ll get the mental health treatment he needs. Kid sounds like he has some deep psychiatric issues that have been untreated for a very long time.

At the end of the article it says he's being held at a mental hospital until he is well enough to serve his sentence.

Fuuck.

I get it but this reads as:

Be mentally unwell Get seduced by chatbot to commit treason Get caught receive the help you need to be a stable human Spend 9 years in prison Get released as a mentally unwell individual
