A 57-year-old nurse named Dale Bolinger allegedly arranged to meet a 14-year-old girl after discussing the sexual acts he would perform before and after beheading and eating her online.
Canterbury Crown Court heard that the suspect used the Dark Fetish Network (DFN) to discuss beheading and eating women and girls for sexual gratification. On September 2012, a day before he was supposedly to meet 14-year-old “Eva”, he bought an axe in Broadstairs, Kent. However, he denied attempting to meet a child under 16 after sexual grooming.
Prosecutor Martin Yale read out Internet chat transcripts about the rape, killing and cannibalism of women in which, he alleged that Bolinger referred to beheading a 14-year-old, eating children while their mothers watched, and cooking and eating a pregnant women and her foetus.
Mr Yale said: "He said he would murder her with an axe or a cleaver and then he would eat her."
Jurors heard that Mr Bolinger told the girl: "The idea of making love and then eating you is a very great turn-on.
"I have been called a very generous lover and I would be very generous to you before I prepped you for the table."
However, Eva, whose identity was never revealed, did not arrive and Mr Bolinger went home only to be arrested later.
