A federal judge released an alleged cyberstalker in Tennessee who identifies as transgender and made threatening statements aimed at a Christian school.
McKenzie McClure, a woman who identifies as a man and goes by Kalvin McClure, made a concerning call to Nashville, Tennessee’s, Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) in March of this year just days before the anniversary of the Covenant School shooting, when a transgender-identifying woman killed six victims, including three nine-year olds.
McClure, a former student of CPA, left a voicemail for the school where she referenced a Marvel movie in which a character returns to an orphanage where he was raised and kills a headmaster who was abusive. The message caused CPA and nearby Currey Ingram Academy to close the following day and resulted in McClure being arrested by federal agents a month later for alleged cyberstalking.
Security cameras at the school also appeared to show McClure walking across campus making obscene gestures in the days before her arrest.
Now McClure has been released from federal custody by U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Chip Frensley. The judge heard from mental health professionals at an East Tennessee mental facility called Pasadena Villa where McClure was being held. The professionals attested that McClure is now taking her medicine, is no longer delusional, and is remorseful.
One CPA parent, however, explained that he asked the court to keep the alleged cyberstalker in federal custody. “I didn’t think there would be any response that could stop her if she was determined,” he told The Tennessee Star.
McClure will now receive out-patient care while living at home with her parents near the school.
The alleged cyberstalker also has a history of making concerning statements on social media. “Also Bill Lee knows if he makes one wrong move it’s Joever for him and my 4th grade teacher… i.e., his WIFE,” McClure wrote in one post on X. “I’m here. I’m QUEER. GET USED TO IT,” she wrote in another post.
