Hopefully during those 9 years he’ll get the mental health treatment he needs. Kid sounds like he has some deep psychiatric issues that have been untreated for a very long time.

Be mentally unwell Get seduced by chatbot to commit treason Get caught receive the help you need to be a stable human Spend 9 years in prison Get released as a mentally unwell individual
