'Cannibal Cop' to Walk Free: What it Means for Internet Speech
At least for New York police officer Gilberto Valle, who the tabloids dubbed the “Cannibal Cop,” the decision was made by a federal judge who overturned his conviction on Tuesday due to lack of sufficient evidence.
Valle never actually murdered or ate anybody. Instead, he reportedly talked about it with another member of the “vore” community that he met on the site DarkFetishNet, a self-described “friendly place for all people with dark fetishes.”
“Vore” is short for “vorarephilia,” a sexual fetish where people are aroused by the idea of eating someone or being eaten. Valle reportedly talked about killing and eating at least five women that he knew, including his soon-to-be wife.
“I have longed to butcher and cook female meat,” he wrote, according to testimony of FBI agent Corey Walsh.
