'Vampire leader' torture threats
AP
A US man who claims to be the leader of a group of vampires, has pleaded guilty to charges that he threatened to torture and kill an Indianapolis judge and his family.
Forty-five-year-old Rocky Flash, also known as Jonathon Sharkey, was sentenced in a Marion County court on Wednesday to more than two years in jail.
Prosecutors say the man threatened to beat, torture, impale, dismember and decapitate Judge David Certo, who is presiding over another case involving Flash.
Flash claims to be the leader of a group called "Vampyre Nation." A call to a phone number listed on the group's blog got a recording saying the call could not go through.
