- Inyoung You pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter over her boyfriend's 2019 suicide.
- She was accused of encouraging Alexander Urtula to kill himself in multiple text messages.

A woman who was charged after her boyfriend's 2019 suicide pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter on Thursday after she was accused of encouraging him to kill himself.
Inyoung You, 23, a former student of Boston College, was accused of encouraging her boyfriend, Alexander Urtula, to kill himself in text messages.
He died by suicide in May 2019, on the day of his graduation from Boston College.
Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins said she "waged a campaign of abuse that stripped the victim of his free will," The Boston Globe reported.
The texts included one that told him to do "everyone a favor and go fucking kill yourself, you're such a fucking stupid ass worthless shit," The Daily Beast reported.
You had reached a plea agreement with Rollins that means she does not face any time behind bars, Reuters reported.
She was sentenced to a two-and-a-half-year suspended jail sentence and 10 years of probation, Reuters reported.
Rollins said the plea agreement was made "in close consultation with the Urtula family," Reuters reported.
As part of the agreement, You has to do community service and undertake mental health treatment, and is not allowed to financially profit from the case, BuzzFeed News reported.
She had pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in 2019, shortly after she was charged.
