NEW YORK (AP) — A city police officer dreamed up plots to kidnap, torture, cook and eat at least 100 women whose photos, names and addresses he pulled from a confidential law enforcement database, authorities said Thursday.

Gilbert Valle’s fantasies about cannibalizing women — in one, he said he hoped to “cook her over low heat, keep her alive as long as possible” — were described in online fetish chat rooms and emails, and authorities said he was arrested because he was taking steps to carry them out.
