Gavin Plumb Convicted in Holly Willoughby Kidnap Plot

Holly Willoughby has issued a statement expressing that 'women should not be made to feel unsafe' after her stalker, Gavin Plumb, was found guilty of plotting to kidnap, rape, and murder her. Plumb, a reclusive security guard, meticulously planned the attack over several years and was arrested before he could carry out his plans, thanks to an undercover US police officer and swift action by Essex Police. Plumb, who had a history of similar offenses, claimed his plans were mere fantasies, but the jury at Chelmsford Crown Court unanimously convicted him based on substantial evidence of real planning and intent. Holly Willoughby thanked law enforcement and the judicial system for ensuring her safety and commended the bravery of Plumb's previous victims, without whose testimonies the conviction might not have been possible. Plumb faces sentencing on July 12, where the prosecution will seek additional restraining and sexual harm prevention orders.
