When she finally broke and checked his online activity - what she found was far more horrifying than anything she had imagined.

Gilberto Valle had been on cannibal fetish forums talking to strangers about how he wanted to abduct, rape, torture, kill and eat women - including Kathleen.

In the trial, and the media frenzy, that followed - the question became; when does a thought become a crime?

Episode 98 - Sally Challen: A Case of Coercive Control Jun 13, 2019

Show notes

One Saturday morning in November 2010 Sally Challen walked into the kitchen and hit her husband Richard in the head with a hammer. She hit him over 20 times. In the trial that followed Sally was painted as a possessive, jealous woman who murdered her husband in cold-blood. This year, in 2019, Sally won a land mark appeal to have her conviction overturned as a fresh defence was shaped around her mental state owing to the years of emotional and psychological abuse she had suffered at the hands of her husband.
