According to reports, Gavin Plumb, a security guard, has filed for permission to appeal his convictions and life sentence. This comes after he was found guilty of plotting to kidnap, rape, and murder television presenter Holly Willoughby. The judge handed him a minimum sentence of 16 years in prison, but Plumb is now seeking to appeal both his conviction and sentencing.
A court official confirmed that they have received applications for appeal from Plumb regarding both his convictions and sentence. This news comes after a judge described Plumb's plans as "depraved and vile" and sentenced him to a lengthy prison term. The judge also added that Plumb poses a serious risk to all women, not just Holly Willoughby.
During the sentencing, Mr. Justice Edward Murray stated that if Plumb were to be released after the minimum term, he would be subject to a permanent license condition. The judge also expressed his belief that Plumb would have carried out his plan if he had found accomplices who were serious about joining him.
Plumb was convicted of soliciting murder and inciting rape and kidnap of Holly Willoughby. The judge continued to explain his reasoning for the prison term, stating that Plumb had an unhealthy sexual obsession with the presenter for several years, which ultimately led him to plan the abduction, rape, and murder. The judge also noted that Plumb intended to harm Holly's husband and children as part of his plan.
Further details of Plumb's disturbing plan were revealed, as the judge explained that Plumb had discussed his intentions with others in a highly revolting and graphic manner. The judge also mentioned that Plumb had previously been convicted of similar offences involving the threat of sexual violence against four other women, leading him to be deemed dangerous.
Plumb was caught after an undercover US police officer infiltrated an online group called "Abduct Lovers" and became concerned about Plumb's posts. The evidence was then passed on to the FBI, who contacted the UK police. During a raid on Plumb's flat, police found bottles of chloroform and an "abduction kit" containing cable ties.
