Valle (pictured in his police officer uniform) spent 21 months in jail before his conviction was overturned in 2014

The 'cannibal cop' who gained notoriety when his wife reported him for his online plot to kidnap and eat women is trying to explain himself in a tell-all book.

Gilberto Valle from Queens, New York apparently planned to kill and eat 100 women including his wife in 2012.

He spent 21 months in jail before being acquitted of his charge of conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

Valle was an NYPD policeman when he created the account 'Girlmeat Hunter' on a fetish website in 2009.

Valle claimed the horrific fantasies he detailed on the site such as 'letting her bleed out then butcher her while she hangs' was not something he planned on doing in reality. He emphasizes this in the new book Raw Deal: The Untold Story Of NYPD's 'Cannibal Cop.'

In the shocking except from WildBlue Press published on the New York Post, Valle confesses: 'My thing was that my fantasies and scenarios all involved nonconsensual victims. The consensual scenarios didn’t appeal to me.'

Happier times: Valle's then-wife, Kathleen Mangan (pictured with him in an archive shot) told authorities in 2012 that he was planning to kill and eat more than 100 women, including herself

Valle says when his wife, Kathleen Mangan, first found out about his fantasy she reacted relatively calmly and said they should go to a sex shop to spice up their love life.

He then claims she put spyware on his computer a week later.

Valle writes about how he tried to hide his dark secret and speaks about the freedom he felt when he found an online community of like-minded people.

When talking about the isolation he felt, Valle writes in the Post's exclusive excerpt: 'Try and imagine that your sex drive is focused on tying women up, seeing them helpless, having them naked on a platter before you.'

On publisher WildBlue Press's website, Valle said: 'The issue of thought crimes is one reason I wanted to write this book.'

'Maybe a more important reason for me, personally, is the feeling that I owe it to myself and everyone who wholeheartedly believed in my innocence from the day I was arrested to finally get the accurate, true story out there.'

Valle claims the HBO Documentaries did not accurately portray what happened. He was the subject of the 2015 film Thought Crimes: The Case Of The Cannibal Cop which questioned whether or not Valle's actions were crimes or 'thought crimes.'

In the excerpt published on the Post, Valle attempts to compare his fetish to BDSM. The bondage and power-play driven sexual practice has become almost mainstream with Fifty Shades of Grey.

Valle has claimed he is not alone in this desire and stated in 2016 that many women contacted him online because of his cannibal fantasy.

He has been defending his sexual thoughts for a while. In an interview with CBS New York, Valle said: 'There are a lot of people out there who are aroused by a lot of weird things. No one would ever admit to it openly, because it's embarrassing,'

In 2012, he FBI had found a 'target list' of names, addresses and photographs of women on Valle's computer. He was fired from his job at the NYPD following his arrest.
