A New York City cop allegedly discussed plans to “kidnap, rape, torture, kill, cook, and eat the body parts of a number of women,” according to a felony complaint unsealed today in US District Court in Manhattan. The officer, 28-year-old Gilberto Valle, was arrested yesterday by the FBI and was scheduled to appear today before a federal magistrate judge. Valle, a six-year NYPD veteran assigned to a Harlem precinct, exchanged emails and instant messages about the bizarre plot with two unnamed co-conspirators, investigators say. In one July communication, Valle wrote that he was contemplating tying one “tasty” woman “onto some kind of apparatus…cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible.” When asked about the size of his oven, Valle replied, “Big enough to fit one of these girls if I folded their legs.” (via thesmokinggun)
