A shocking and disturbing case has emerged in the UK, where a 37-year-old security guard, Gavin Plumb, is on trial for allegedly planning to abduct, rape, and murder TV presenter Holly Willoughby. The court heard that Plumb had been obsessively plotting this heinous crime for two years before being stopped by an undercover police officer.
According to reports from the BBC, Plumb has pleaded not guilty to the charges of soliciting murder, inciting kidnap, and inciting rape. In her opening statement, prosecutor Alison Morgan KC Plumb revealed that the accused had a deep obsession with Willoughby and had meticulously planned to take her to his home in Essex and kill her in an abandoned building.
The court was also informed that police had found over 10,000 images of Willoughby on Plumb's phone, including deepfake pornography. In addition, The Guardian reported that he had purchased 400 "heavy duty" metal cable ties online, further solidifying the prosecution's case against him.
The prosecution also presented evidence that Plumb had confided in an individual known as Marc online, who was in fact an undercover police officer based in the US. In a voice note played in court, Plumb can be heard telling Marc that he plans to strike at night when there is less traffic. He also discusses using chloroform on both Willoughby and her husband in order to easily restrain them.
In the same voice note, Plumb shares his disturbing plan to force Willoughby to make a video saying that she willingly went with them and consented to everything they did to her, in order to cover themselves legally. The court was also shown a video that Plumb had sent to the undercover officer, in which he can be seen displaying a "kit of sexualised paraphernalia" on a bed, including shackles, a rope, and a ball gag.
The jury was also made aware of Plumb's previous criminal history, including two cases of attempted kidnap and false imprisonment. In 2006, he had attempted to force two women off a train using a fake gun and a threatening note. Two years prior to that, he had tried to tie up two teenage girls in a Woolworths stock room.
It is truly unsettling to think that someone could harbor such malicious intentions towards an innocent public figure like Holly Willoughby. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of an undercover police officer, Plumb's sinister plans were thwarted and he is now facing justice for his disturbing actions.
