PORTLAND, Ore.—Vasiliy V. Barbiyeru, Jr., 24, of Newberg,
Oregon, pleaded guilty today to one count of transmitting a threatening
interstate communication.
According to court documents, on October 7, 2017, Barbiyeru
sent a threatening email to several individuals and groups at Deep Springs
College in Big Pine, California where he had been denied admission. Barbiyeru
had previously sent threatening emails to the college’s president and other
associated persons.
On March 1, 2019, Barbiyeru was charged with first degree
disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, in Clackamas County Circuit Court after
making similar threats of violence to Lake Oswego High School. Barbiyeru was
arrested a short time later by the Lake Oswego Police Department. His state
charges are still pending.
Barbiyeru faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal
prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. He will be
sentenced on November 18, 2019 before U.S. District Court Chief Judge Michael
W. Mosman.
This case was investigated by the FBI and the Newberg and
McMinnville Police Departments and is being prosecuted by Hannah Horsley,
Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
