A New York City police officer plotted to ******, cook and eat women, using a crime victim database and possibly an online dating forum to choose potential victims and discussing his twisted scheme in grisly detail online, local and federal *************** authorities said.
Six-year NYPD veteran Gilberto Valle, 28, who worked in Harlem, was arrested Wednesday by federal officers on a conspiracy to ****** charge Wednesday. The U.S. Attorney’s office said Valle conspired with multiple, unnamed people “to ******, ****, *******, ****, cook and cannibalize a number of women.”
“Gilberto Valle’s alleged plans to ****** women so that they could be *****, ********, ******, cooked and cannibalized shocks the conscience," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a prepared statement. "This case is all the more disturbing when you consider Valle’s position as a New York City police officer and his sworn duty to serve and protect."
According to the criminal complaint, the FBI discovered that Valle was discussing the plot through email and instant messaging. The complaint includes stomach-turning details about Valle's alleged plans to victimize and **** numerous women. Investigators discovered that he allegedly created a personal registry on his computer of more than 100 women, complete with photographs and personal information, including addresses and physical descriptions.
“The allegations in the complaint really need no description from us," said FBI Acting Assistant Director-in-Charge Mary Galligan. "They speak for themselves. It would be an understatement merely to say Valle’s own words and actions were shocking.” [well damn, ya think?!]
