Inyoung You, 23 plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter. She changed her plea from not guilty, in order to avoid jail time. Prosecutors allege the woman waged a campaign of abuse against her boyfriend leading to his 2019 suicide.
Alexander Urtula died on the day he graduated from Boston College in May 2019.
Ms. You is a naturalized US citizen who was born in South Korea. You, a former student of Boston College, is accused of encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself via text.
She was charged shortly after his death and changed her plea to guilty of manslaughter on Thursday.
You reached a plea agreement with Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins that means she does not face any time behind bars. She was sentenced to a two-and-a-half-year suspended jail sentence and 10 years of probation.
The agreement includes doing community service and getting mental health treatment. And she is not allowed to financially profit from the case.
Campaign of Abuse caused the death
Between March and May 2019, the woman and Mr. Urtula texted each other 75,337 messages. Over 47,000 were sent by Ms. You.
