A former Manhattan high school librarian will spend the next 15 years in prison for conspiring to kidnap, rape and murder women and children.
Manhattan Federal Court Judge Paul Gardephe handed the ruling to Christopher Asch, 65, on Monday, deeming him "a danger to the community." Asch's attorney did not respond to Reuters's immediate request for comment.
Authorities initially arrested Asch, who used to work at the elite Stuyvesant High School, in April 2013 following investigations into the cannibal cop case of former NYPD officer Gilberto Valle. Valle was found guilty the month priorthough later released from prisonfor plotting to kidnap, kill and eat women.
Asch, along with New Jersey mechanic Michael Van Hise and Richard Meltz, a former Veterans Affairs hospital police chief, used the same forum Valle frequented, called DarkFetishNet, where individuals share their deviant sexual fantasies. The three conspired to rape and murder Van Hise's wife, sister-in-law and sister-in-law's children, who were under 10 years old.
