CO Trans teen sentenced to 6 years for his plan to shoot up school and church

He now goes by the name Lilly but he was born William. I'm not sure if he went ahead and had his penis and testicles surgically mutilated and shaped to look somewhat like the genitals of a female, but he "identifies" as a female and dresses like one.

The transgender Colorado teenager, Lilly Whitworth, 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, as reported by The New York Post.

Whitworth planned to carry out a mass shooting at Timberview Middle School, which he had previously attended. He was arrested after his family made a collective decision to hold him “accountable for her actions,” the boy’s mother, Melissa Whitworth-Mathes, told The Post last year.

Other potential targets mentioned in his 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 was to carrying out a mass shooting, he was quoted as telling police that he was “about a third of the way from doing it.”

Whitworth’s sister had 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 found 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 outlet.

Whitworth admitted to an officer that he planned to carry out a mass shooting for “no specific reason.”

Whitworth heard the sentence in an Elbert County courtroom on Tuesday and was given credit for 306 days for time already served since his March 2023 arrest.

Given Whitworth’s mental disorder of gender dysphoria, it was not immediately clear whether he would be sent to a men’s facility or a women's facility where he could dominate the cell block and shower with his female colleagues. 

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.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Whitworth wasn't listed as a DOC prisoner in the online database.
