Teenager who convinced her boyfriend to commit suicide is JAILED

Michelle Carter was handed two-and-a-half years in prison on Thursday. The judge said Carter will only have to serve 15 months and the rest of the sentence will be suspended.

Conrad Roy was 18-years-old when he committed suicide after his girlfriend, Michelle Carter, who was 17-years-old at the time, encouraged him to kill himself then continued to listened to his last minutes but did not call the police for help.

Carter was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in June after his death which happened in his own truck in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, in July 2014.

In several text messages, Carter urged Roy to follow through on his talk of taking his own life. She wrote this to him the day he killed himself ‘The time is right and you are ready … just do it babe.’
Another message read: ‘You can’t think about it. You just have to do it. You said you were gonna do it. Like I don’t get why you aren’t.’

Michelle and Conrad met on holiday in Florida back in 2012 with their families. After that, they only met in person a few of times. Their relationship then consisted mainly of texting.
