A security officer who had “depraved and vile” intentions to kidnap, rape, and kill TV personality Holly Willoughby was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 16 years, reports RTE.
Gavin Plumb’s scheme had a “catastrophic and “life-changing” impact on the former This Morning host, according to information presented to Chelmsford Crown Court.
Following a trial at the same court, Plumb was unanimously found guilty of soliciting murder and encouraging rape and kidnapping, reports RTE.
Mr. Justice Edward Murray gave the 37-year-old his sentence, saying as much: “There is no doubt that if you had genuinely found one or more accomplices who were seriously interested in and had been willing to join you in carrying your plan through then you would have put this plan into action,” reports RTE.
After deducting the 280 days the defendant had been held on remand, the judge sentenced him to life in prison with a minimum of 16 years, meaning that the minimum period would be 15 years and 85 days.
