Justice Department seeks to evict convicted incel plotter from residence near Ohio State University
The Justice Department filed a motion to evict Tres Genco, a man convicted of plotting a mass shooting at an Ohio State sorority, from his apartment located two blocks from campus. Genco was arrested in 2021 after his mother reported threats; he had written a manifesto detailing plans to attack women and purchased weapons before his arrest. The case highlights tensions between public safety concerns and the rights of individuals completing supervised release sentences.
Tres Genco, who pleaded guilty in 2022 to attempting to commit a hate crime after plotting a mass shooting at an Ohio State University sorority, currently resides two blocks from the campus. The Justice Department filed a motion in May seeking to add conditions to his supervised release, including a requirement that he live more than 2 miles from any Ohio university or college, obtain pre-approval for his residence, and submit to computer monitoring. Genco's public defenders oppose the residency restrictions, arguing they would cause financial and psychological harm and noting that such conditions were not imposed at the time of his sentencing. The case involves Genco's 2021 arrest following his mother's report that he had threatened her and barricaded himself in his room; authorities discovered his manifesto titled "A Hideous Symphony" detailing plans to "slaughter" women, along with weapons including a bulletproof vest, rifle, and handguns. Ohio State University has expressed support for the Justice Department's motion, citing student safety as a priority.
