"particularly sadistic, brutal and degrading"
"no doubt that this was all considerably more than a fantasy"
"definitely serious"
"I'm not gonna lie, she is a fantasy of mine."
Gavin Plumb was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 16 years after unanimous convictions for soliciting murder and encouraging or assisting rape and kidnap. Essex Police found bottles of chloroform and an abduction kit containing cable ties when raiding his Harlow flat. Jurors heard plans to ambush Ms Willoughby at her family home and discussions about taking time off work to organise the attack. A US undercover officer infiltrated an online group called Abduct Lovers, was told Plumb was "definitely serious", and passed evidence to the FBI and UK police. Plumb was arrested on 4 October 2023, described Ms Willoughby as "a fantasy of mine", and is now seeking to appeal his sentence at the Royal Courts of Justice.
