Texas man Alexander Barter arrested for seeking young girl to rape, kill and cannibalise
- Investigation began when police noticed a bizarre ad on dark web
- Faces charges including criminal solicitation and conspiracy to commit capital murder
A Texan has been arrested after advertising online that he wanted to try necrophilia and cannibalism with a young girl.
Alexander Barter, 21, was arrested after an undercover police officer posing as a father willing to offer his daughter responded to the post on the dark web, police in Florida said Tuesday.
“It’s probably the most unusual and the most disgusting case I’ve ever seen,” Wayne Ivey, the sheriff of Brevard County in Florida, told a press conference.
The investigation began when a Brevard County police officer noticed a bizarre ad on the internet.
“I’d like to try necrophilia and cannibalism and see how it feels to take a life,” Barter’s post read.
The officer contacted Barter and made out that he was a man willing to make his underage daughter available to him.
