Elizabeth Valle, mother of New York City police officer Gilberto Valle dubbed by local media as the "cannibal cop", exits the Manhattan Federal Court following his conviction in New York March 12, 2013. The New York City police officer was convicted of plotting to kidnap, cook and eat women following a trial that shed light on an underworld of people who derive pleasure from fantasizing about cannibalism online. A federal court jury also found Valle, guilty on a lesser charge of improperly accessing a law enforcement database to gather personal information about potential targets, including his now-estranged wife.
