A 19-year-old Colorado woman who tried to travel to Syria to wage jihad with Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants was sentenced Friday to four years in prison.

Shannon Conley was arrested at Denver International Airport in April where she was bound for the Syria–Turkey border. Court documents revealed that Conley intended to join a man she described as her “suitor” and an ISIS militant.

Conley, who converted to Islam, voluntarily met on numerous occasions with FBI agents and detailed her desire to carry out Jihad in a foreign country to defend her faith.

In a Denver federal court Friday, Conley wore a black and tan headscarf, telling a judge she had disavowed jihad and had been misled in her beliefs, the Associated Press reported.

“Even though I supported a jihad, it was never to hurt anyone,” she said, according to the Denver Post. “It was always in the defense of Muslims.”

Conley pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group under a deal that required her to offer information on other Americans with similar aspirations.

“That woman is in need of psychiatric help,” U.S. District Judge Raymond Moore said before sentencing Conley. “She’s a bit of a mess.”
