In 2012, Gilberto Valle, a New York City Police Officer, dubbed “Cannibal Cop” by the media, was accused of plotting to kidnap, torture, rape, kill, cook and eat a least a hundred women, including his wife. He discussed his dark fantasies in fetish chat rooms online and in one instance, boasted he was going to have “girl meat” for Thanksgiving. Valle has since maintained that it was just fantasy, and he never intended to follow through with these sinister acts. So, what is the fine line between intent to do harm and just one’s sinister fantasies?
