READ MORE: Holly Willoughby trial LIVE updates as Gavin Plumb in court accused of kidnap, rape and murder plot Ms Morgan told the court that Plumb, who jurors heard had previous convictions for attempting to kidnap women, had purchased items which would “assist him in carrying out the attack”. She told jurors Plumb “commented on the appearance of women in a degrading manner” and outlined his past violence towards women – including tying the hands of a 16-year-old girl and attempted kidnaps on a train with the threat of a gun.
Ms Morgan said Plumb had shared "deepfake pornography images of Holly Willoughby" online with a person called Marc. The barrister said these were "using her face, putting it onto the body of another female to give images of her in pornographic situations". “The defendant set out his plans and sought to encourage the other person to commit those offences with him. The defendant’s plans as to what he would do to Holly Willoughby were graphic and were obviously sexually motivated. They were real to him, members of the jury, and were based on an obsession with Holly Willoughby that had developed over a number of years.”
