Franklin Woman Sentenced 30 Months Cyberstalking Tennessee School

McKenzie McClure, also known as Kalvin McClure, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for a prolonged cyberstalking campaign targeting 14 victims, including the Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) and Christ Presbyterian Church (CPC) communities in Franklin, Tennessee. Her actions included a threatening voicemail left on March 24, 2024, referencing fictional and real acts of terror, which led to the closure of the school and over $140,000 spent on security enhancements. Despite hospitalization and mental health treatment after law enforcement intervention, McClure resumed her online harassment upon release, disregarding warnings to cease communication related to CPA and CPC. Authorities emphasized the seriousness of her conduct, highlighting the significant disruption, fear, and risk posed to the school community, especially given the timing near the anniversary of the Covenant School mass shooting. The court also ordered three years of supervised release post-imprisonment, including restrictions on communication and travel involving CPA and CPC. Law enforcement and legal officials underscored their commitment to protecting children and holding those who threaten school communities accountable.
