Colleen Renee LaRose (born June 5, 1963), also known as Jihad Jane and Fatima LaRose, is an American citizen who was convicted and sentenced to 10 years for terrorism-related crimes, including conspiracy to commit murder and providing material support to terrorists.〔(Indictment ), justice.gov 〕 She had married at age 16 and never finished high school. After a quick divorce, she later married again at age 24, and divorced after a decade. She had moved from Texas in 2004 to live in Pennsburg, near Reading, Pennsylvania. After personal losses and attempting suicide in 2005, she converted to Islam. She was prosecuted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.〔 LaRose was taken into custody in October 2009, and her arrest was made public on March 9, 2010, after seven alleged co-conspirators were arrested in Ireland (five of whom were later released by the Irish authorities).〔 〕 Among those arrested in Ireland (later released by the Irish authorities, but then arrested by U.S. authorities and charged as a co-defendant with LaRose in a superseding indictment) was Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, an American woman from Colorado, whose parents say she was recruited by LaRose.〔〔 Specifically, LaRose was charged with trying to recruit Islamic terrorists to wage violent Jihad and of plotting to murder the Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who had drawn a cartoon of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.〔〔〔〔 She was arraigned and initially pled not guilty on March 18, 2010. She faced a maximum penalty of life in prison, and a $1-million fine.〔 On February 1, 2011, she pled guilty to all charges against her. She was convicted on January 6, 2014, and sentenced to 10 years.〔 ==Background== LaRose was born in Michigan and grew up in Detroit. She has one sister, Pam, who is three years older. Their parents divorced when Colleen was 3. She was raped by her biological father from about age 7 to age 13, when she ran away and became a prostitute.〔〔http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/06/us-usa-jihadjane-idUSBREA050PC20140106〕 She was briefly married at the age of 16 to Sheldon Barnum, who was 32 at the time. A miscarriage left her unable to have children.〔 Eventually, she moved to Texas. She later married Rodolfo "Rudy" Cavazos in 1988, when she was 24 years old; the marriage ended in divorce ten years later in 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Jihad Jane': Ex-Husband Speaks Out About Terror Suspect )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Terror Suspect 'Jihad Jane' Pleads Not Guilty )〕 She moved to the Philadelphia area in 2004 to live with her new boyfriend, Kurt Gorman, whom she had met in Ennis, Texas, when he was on a business trip. She helped him care for his aging father.〔〔〔〔 Spurred by the deaths in short order of her brother and father, LaRose apparently attempted suicide on May 21, 2005, by consuming 8 to 10 cyclobenzaprine pills along with alcohol.〔 Her sister Pam in Texas had been worried about her and called 911 to alert police. LaRose told responding police that she did not want to die. She lived with Gorman for about five years. During that period, she apparently converted to Islam and became radicalized,〔〔〔 but Gorman said that she "never talked about international events, about Muslims, anything". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colleen LaRose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
