Sentenced: Trans Teen Who Planned Mass School, Church Shootings And Wrote Chilling Manifesto Incarcerated For 6 Years

[Sugar Cookie]

A transgender Colorado teenager who admitted to plotting mass shootings targeting at least three schools — and who had penned a chilling manifesto praising infamous killers — has been sentenced to six years in prison.

Lilly Whitworth, 19, born William, learned her fate in an Elbert County courtroom Tuesday. She was given credit of 306 days for time served from the time of her arrest in March 2023.

Given Whitworth’s transgender status, it was not immediately clear whether she would be sent to a women’s prison or a men’s facility.

A spokesperson for the 18th Judicial District’s Attorney’s Office, which prosecuted the case, told The Post Wednesday that it is not involved in determining a defendant’s place of incarceration.

The Post reached out to the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC) for comment.

Whitworth was arrested after her family made a collective decision to hold her “accountable for her actions,” the teen’s mother, Melissa Whitworth-Mathes, told The Post last year.

Whitworth’s sister called the police on March 31, telling a dispatcher that the teen was punching holes in the wall and had threatened to shoot up a school.

Police discovered journals written by Whitworth, which included a list of firearms and instructions for how to 3D print them, information on bomb-making and a list of people to be killed, according to an affidavit obtained by The Post.

Whitworth admitted to an officer that she planned to carry out a mass shooting at Timberview Middle School in the Colorado Springs area, which she had previously attended, for “no specific reason.”

Other potential targets mentioned in her notebooks or in text messages included Prairie Hills Elementary and Pine Creek High School, along with churches and government buildings.

Also recovered was a four-page manifesto which contained words of praise for serial killer Ed Kemper and Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza.

When asked how close Whitworth had come to carrying out a mass shooting, she was quoted as telling police that she was “about a third of the way from doing it.”

Kudos to her family for doing the right thing, that must’ve been really hard. Ethan Crumbleys parents could’ve taken a lesson from their book.

For what it's worth, I do think she should be sent to a mens' prison.

Honestly when I saw the picture I thought it was female to male instead of the other way. He's gonna be a real big target in a male prison, tho, he put himself there, all by his big boy self. Praise to the family for seeing a threat and neutralizing it.
