Rogata's climb of Trump Tower last August garnered global attention.

At one point during his climb, a laptop he was carrying fell, crashing on the ground below.

He was eventually hauled into the building through a window opened by police on the 21st floor.

After the incident, Rogata's attorney Tara Collins said he was receiving much-needed mental health treatment.

Prior to the climb, Rogata posted a video on YouTube saying he wanted a personal meeting with Donald Trump.
