Gilberto Valle III (born April 14, 1984) is a former New York City police officer who was convicted by a jury in March 2013 of conspiracy to kidnap, before the judge in the case, Paul Gardephe, overturned the verdict 16 months later.
The circuit court later affirmed the acquittal in December 2015, but the prosecution's appeal could yet go to the Supreme Court.Valle was arrested after his wife discovered he was spending time in Internet chat rooms describing detailed plans to abduct, torture, rape and cannibalize women; Valle claimed all scenarios he described were mere fantasy.
The case drew widespread attention for its unusual nature — Valle was dubbed the "Cannibal Cop" — and because of the legal issue of whether describing criminal activities crosses the line into criminal intent.
