Ohio 'incel' sentenced for plotting to kill sorority girls in manifesto
An Ohio man and self-described “incel,” short for “involuntary celibate,” has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to a hate crime charge, according to federal prosecutors.
Tres Genco, 24, of Hillsboro admitted to planning a hate crime to shoot 3,000 people, including sorority girls, at an Ohio university in 2021.
Genco wrote in a 2019 manifesto that he wanted the “death” of women he had been “deprived” of yet cherished and fantasized about “having.”
“Genco intended to carry out a devastating mass murder of innocent women in this state for no other reason than the fact that he hated them. Everybody deserves to live without threats of violence or fearing acts of terror,” U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Parker said in a Feb. 29 statement. “Genco’s sentence reflects the need to protect the community from him for a significant period of time. I thank each of our law enforcement partners for working together to keep our community safe.”

In a manifesto titled, “A Hideous Symphony, a manifesto written by Tres Genco, the socially exiled incel,” dated Aug. 3, 2019, the then-19-year-old wrote that he was “set to go into the U.S. Army” to train for “the attainment of one reality,” according to an indictment.
The incel movement is an online community mostly composed of men who harbor anger toward women and blame them for their own sexual inactivity, prosecutors noted.

Genco described that “reality” as “the death of what” he had been “deprived most, but also cherish and fantasize at the opportunity of having but has been neglected of; Women.”
“I will slaughter out of hatred, jealousy, and revenge,” he wrote. “I will take away the power of life that they withhold from me, by showing there is more than just happiness and fulfillment, there is encompassing death, the great equalizer that will bear all of us into its seductively calm velvet of silence and serenity.”

In another note obtained by law enforcement, Genco said he wanted to “aim big” for a 3,000-person kill count, the indictment states.
The day he wrote his manifesto, Genco searched online for sororities and information about the Ohio university where he planned to conduct the attack.
Genco even went so far as to purchase tactical gloves, a bulletproof vest, a hoodie bearing the word “Revenge,” cargo pants, a bowie knife, a skull face mask, two Glock 17 magazines, a 9 mm Glock 17 clip, and a holster clip concealed carry for a Glock, according to prosecutors.
He also attended Army basic training in Georgia between August 2019 and December 2019 but was discharged for entry-level performance and conduct.

“Genco plotted to violently attack women and was motivated by his personal hatred,” FBI Cincinnati Acting Special Agent in Charge Cheryl Mimura said in a statement. “Law enforcement, working together, stopped his deadly attack from happening. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force will continue to work closely with our law enforcement and community partners to disrupt threats and prevent violence in our community.”
Genco maintained a number of profiles on a popular incel website between at least July 2019 through mid-March 2020, publishing hundreds of posts throughout that period. In one post, he detailed spraying women and couples with orange juice from a water gun. Known incel Elliot Rodger, who killed six people and injured 14 others in a 2014 shooting outside the University of California Santa Barbara, also sprayed students with orange juice from a water gun.
In January 2020, Genco wrote a note on his phone titled “isolated” from the future perspective of someone who had just committed a “horrible” crime, the indictment states.

“If you’re reading this, I’ve done something horrible. Somehow you’ve come across the writings of the deluded and homicidal, not an easy task, and for that I congratulate you for your curiosity and willingness to delve into such a dark topic,” signed, “Your hopeful friend and murderer,” he wrote.
Federal agents arrested the 22-year-old in July 2021 after responding to a domestic incident at his mobile home in Hillsboro, and he has remained in custody in Butler County since then.
Once detectives arrived and questioned Genco, they found a firearm with a bump stock attached, several loaded magazines, body armor and boxes of ammunition inside his vehicle.
Police also found a modified Glock-style 9 mm semiautomatic pistol, with no manufacturer information or a serial number, hidden inside a heating vent in Genco’s bedroom, at which point police realized they were not responding to just a domestic incident, according to court documents and prosecutors.
In October 2022, Genco pleaded guilty to attempting to commit a hate crime.

Walz slams Trump admin for temporarily halting Medicaid funding to Minnesota: ‘Campaign of retribution’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accused the Trump administration of unleashing a “campaign of retribution” against his state after Vice President JD Vance announced a temporary pause in Medicaid funding there.
Vance’s announcement was made after President Donald Trump railed against fraud in Minnesota on Tuesday evening in his State of the Union address.
Vance said Wednesday that he is giving Walz 60 days to clean up how the state doles out funding, adding, “We are stopping the federal payments that will go to the state government until the state government takes its obligations seriously to stop the fraud that’s being perpetrated against the American taxpayer.”
“This is a campaign of retribution. Trump is weaponizing the entirety of the federal government to punish blue states like Minnesota,” Walz, a Democrat, wrote in response on X. “These cuts will be devastating for veterans, families with young kids, folks with disabilities, and working people across our state.”

“This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children,” Walz added. “His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.
The administration and Congress have zeroed in on rampant abuse of federal taxpayers’ funds since December 2025, when details of Minnesota’s fraud relating to social and welfare programs stretching back to the COVID-19 pandemic first came into the national spotlight. Investigators have since estimated the Minnesota scheme could top $9 billion.

Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said Wednesday that the pause marks “the largest action against fraud that we’ve ever taken” at the federal agency, before launching into how the administration is deferring funds to the state.
“It’s going to be $259 million of deferred payments for Medicaid to Minnesota, which we’re announcing, as I speak, to Gov. Walz and his team,” Oz said. “That’s based on an audit of the last three months of 2025. Restated, a quarter billion dollars is not going to be paid this month to Minnesota for its Medicaid claims.”

“We have notified the state and said that we will give them the money, but we’re going to hold it and only release it after they propose and act on a comprehensive corrective action plan to solve the problem,” Oz also said. “If Minnesota fails to clean up the systems, the state will rack up $1 billion of deferred payments this year.”
