Two 12-year-old girls from Waukesha, Wisconsin in the United States are facing criminal charges and up to 64 years in jail. Their crime: the duo stabbed their friend 19 times and have blamed ‘Slender Man’ saying it was he who asked them to commit the crime.
According to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the two girls were charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court as adults with attempted first-degree intentional homicide and fact up to 65 years in prison.” The report adds that Morgan E Geyser and Anissa E Weier decided that they would try to kill their friend during a sleepover for her birthday. The victim is another 12-year-old who attends the same school as them.
According to the report, the girls told the police that the murder was “to pay homage to a fictional character who they believed was real after reading about him on a website devoted to horror stories.” The character is Slender Man. Geyser told the police, “It was weird that I didn’t feel remorse.”
The report adds, “Weier told police that Slender Man is the ‘leader’ of Creepypasta, and in the hierarchy of that world, one must kill to show dedication” and “to prove themselves worthy of him”.

If more people, especially children commit and attempt homicide on behalf of Slender Man, I don't know what the government would do. It wouldn't exactly be effective to pass sanctions against the website that celebrates Slender Man or the character's creator. I don't know if shutting down the Creepypasta website(s) would exactly work.

Slender Man Stabbing Suspect to Have Mental Evaluation.
A 12-year-old girl accused of stabbing a friend in a quest to please a spooky fictional character will have a mental evaluation, while an attorney for a second girl also charged in the crime said Wednesday that he could raise the issue of competency later.
The girls appeared in court for a minutes-long hearing that would typically attract little attention but in this case drew dozens of journalists and others to Waukesha, a community west of Milwaukee. The girls' families sat silently as a court commissioner agreed to appoint a doctor for one and scheduled their next court dates for July 2. One girl's father cried.
According to court documents, the girls plotted for months to kill their friend to curry favor with Slender Man, a character in horror stories they read online. They told investigators they believed Slender Man had a mansion in a Wisconsin forest and they planned to go live with him after the slaying.
The two girls attacked the victim in a wooded Waukesha park, allegedly stabbing her 19 times.
The Wisconsin girl who was allegedly attacked by her classmates and left for dead is waking up in her own bedroom today, continuing to recover.
The girl, 12, is ecstatic to be in that room after finally leaving the hospital Friday, family friend and spokeswoman Dana Hoffmann says.
She’s enjoying watching episodes of “Full House” and spending time with her pets, Hoffmann said.
“She’s a very big cat lover,” she added. “She’s got two cats at home, and you know, it’s just trying to re-establish what that new normal looks like and surround her with things that are familiar.”
