Life in prison for having extreme fantasies?
The New York Cannibal Cop has been convicted on both counts: Illegally accessing a police database to research his potential victims, and conspiracy to kidnap, rape, torture, cook and eat his victims.
The problem is, (former) New York police officer Gilberto Valle has never been charged or convicted of anything previously.
By keeping a detailed diary of his extreme fantasy life, and by discussing such fantasies with fellow ‘enthusiasts’ online, a jury has decided this constituted sufficient evidence of a real, concrete conspiracy to commit these crimes. As far as they are concerned, Valle was stopped before he could commit the crimes he was planning.
