The 21-year-old spent days chatting with the ‘Sarai’ chatbot, and it also involved sexually explicit content, expert Nigel Blackwood said Thursday before London’s Old Bailey Criminal Court. Blackwood stressed that there was no clear evidence of mental illness. The suspect has not lost touch with reality either.
The 21-year-old is charged with breaching the Treason Act of 1842, the maximum penalty being seven years in prison. The sentencing will take place on July 27 and 28.
The then 19-year-old pleaded guilty to planning an assassination attempt on the Queen on December 25, 2021. He had entered the grounds of Windsor Castle with a loaded crossbow and was soon overpowered by security forces. “I’m here to kill the Queen,” he said when he was arrested. The now deceased Queen was on the property at the time.
The suspect, like many of his peers, lost social contacts during the pandemic, the expert said. But although he withdrew from the world, he effortlessly succeeded in carrying out a carefully laid plan. According to him, the young man was influenced by the “Star Wars” movies, which deal with the destruction of ancient empires, and at the same time led by revenge for a massacre by British colonial troops in India in 1919.
