Woman jailed for role in global monkey torture ring blames fake syndrome

Holly LeGrisley news

37-year-old Holly LeGresley from Kidderminster in the UK was sentenced to two years in prison for her involvement in a global monkey torture ring, where she acted as the “archivist” for an online community that orchestrated the brutal abuse of infant macaques.

LeGresley, known online as ‘The Immolator’ curated thousands of graphic videos and images, allowing group members to vote on preferred torture methods, which included burning, maiming, and other gruesome acts.

Claiming a fictitious “Happy Valley Syndrome” caused her pathological hatred of pregnant women and children, she failed to convince authorities, as psychiatrists confirmed she had no severe mental health conditions.

The network, exposed animal rights group Action for Primates, operated internationally with torture videos commissioned in Indonesia and Thailand for as little as £10.

LeGresley and her co-defendant, Adriana Orme, who received a 15-month sentence, were condemned by the judge for their “depraved, sickening, and wicked” crimes.

Police described LeGresley as a recluse who gained status within the group by organising its archive and facilitating torture.

Despite convictions, much of the footage remains accessible on some social media platforms.
