A spokesman for Preet Bharara, the U. Attorney in Manhattan, did not immediately comment. The trial provided a rare glimpse of a dark corner of the Internet, where like-minded fetishists trade explicit materials and discuss violent fantasies. Valle was not accused of harming any women. Gilberto Valle was convicted in of kidnapping conspiracy, but the judge threw out the verdict. He was instead sentenced to time served on a lower-level charge of using a restricted law enforcement database to secretly look up personal information about women he knew.
He was also fired from the NYPD. He argued the women were never in danger and it was a sexual fetish. It's described as very graphic. Prosecutors are appealing against Judge Gardephe's decision. At the sentencing hearing on Wednesday, Mr Valle apologised to the women for putting them through the ordeal of testifying. He was sentenced to one year, the maximum term for a misdemeanour, for secretly using an official database to find out more about women he knew.
He was also sentenced to a year's probation, and told to continue receiving mental health treatment. Outside court, Mr Valle told reporters he wanted to move on.
