PORTLAND, Ore.—Vasiliy V. Barbiyeru, Jr., 25, of Newberg,
Oregon, was sentenced today to nine months in federal prison and three years’
supervised release for transmitting threatening interstate communications.
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 posted a threat directed at the college on the 4chan message
board and had sent similar 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.
On August 22, 2019, Barbiyeru pleaded guilty to one count of
threatening interstate communications.
This case was investigated by the FBI and the Newberg and
McMinnville Police Departments and was being prosecuted by Hannah Horsley,
Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
