A transgender-identifying 18-year-old male was sentenced on Friday for the murder of a 12-year-old girl last November after pleading guilty to the grisly and perverse crime.

18-year-old Joshua “Ash” Cooper, the perpetrator behind the incomprehensible act of third-degree murder, was sentenced to 15-40 years in a state prison and seven years of probation for taking the life of Morgan Connors.

The incident occurred on November 25th, 2022 in at Cooper's home in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Police were called to the residence after this individual confessed to having “accidentally” killed someone in Instagram video chat with a friend, requesting the friend's help cleaning up the carnage and concealing the murder.
