Woman behind torture ring claims I took out my hatred of babies on monkeys

Det Ch Inspector Ben Arrowsmith, of West Mercia Police, told the Telegraph that LeGresley denied taking any responsibility for his role in facilitating the torture of the monkeys during interviews with police.

He said LeGresley was a recluse who took refuge in an online community that offered him a sense of status and worth.

“We are unaware that he is trying to gain a prominent position in society or real-life influence,” he added.

Mr Lacks-Kelly said: “He came into this network, this community, and that increased his value by fulfilling these roles of management, of welcoming people.

“Doing the archiving increased her value as a community person, and that, combined with the hatred towards pregnant women and children, and a group of like-minded people, she can almost be her true self, and that gives you a reason.” living for.”

Police said they contacted Telegram multiple times for comment on the group’s activities but received no response.

Around 20 people worldwide are believed to be under investigation by authorities.

Mike Macartney, 50, a former American motorcycle gang member, was revealed to be the leader of the group, nicknamed the ‘Torture King’.

He was sentenced to three years and four months in prison in October.

Sadly, much of the footage is still available on YouTube or other video-sharing platforms, the Telegraph understands.

LeGresley appeared to friends and family to be an animal lover, regularly posting photos on Facebook showing her cuddling her two pet parrots, Chancey and Princess Pea.

In one post, he launched into a tirade about a Hollywood superhero movie in which birds were burned alive.

After watching Suicide Squad spinoff Birds of Prey in October 2021, he wrote: “I just watched The Suicide Squad. They burn an aviary full of parrots alive using gasoline and call it entertainment.

“This is too bad. You don’t even do that with computer graphics because it’s too far away.

“This amount of unnecessary animal cruelty shouldn’t be allowed to be put into a movie that doesn’t really serve the story.

“Sick and twisted people made this movie. I won’t waste my money on franchises anymore. What a disappointment.”
