ALBUQUERQUE (NewsNation) — Four people will spend the rest of their lives behind bars for contributing to the death of a three-year-old boy, but the former leader of the tiny cult was sentenced to 15 years, to be followed by deportation.

The five were convicted last October on a variety of terrorism and kidnapping charges and sentenced in Albuquerque today.  

Federal prosecutors made the case that Jany Leveille, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, his sisters Hujrah Wahhaj and Subhanah Wahhaj, and Subhanah’s husband, Lucas Morton, kidnapped three-year-old Abdul Ghani from his mother in Georgia in December of 2017.

Leveille led the small group that planned to use the boy as a prop to, in a Justice Dept. statement, “rid the world of purportedly corrupt institutions, including the FBI, CIA, and U.S. military, and to kill those who did not convert and follow Leveille.”

The group occupied a heavily fortified compound in northern New Mexico, just south of the Colorado border. Law enforcement agents raided the compound in August of 2018, arrested the adults and secured several children. Authorities eventually found the remains of the Abdul Ghani, whom they determined had died in December of 2017.

Four co-defendants rejected a plea offer. But Leveille, the group’s leader, accepted a deal that includes a 15-year prison sentence, followed by deportation to her native Haiti.

Leveille, 41, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and being in possession of a firearm while unlawfully in the U.S.

At today’s plea hearing, Aric Elsenheimer, the attorney for Leveille, said his client was diagnosed with schizophrenia while in custody, and underwent a transformation thanks to medication she received while awaiting trial.

She apologized to the victims and the people who followed her. She told the judge, “My heart hurts for all the victims. I take full responsibility. I was not in my right mind.”
