Cop turned ‘cannibal’ because of Cameron Diaz in ‘The Mask’: court papers

It’s all Cameron Diaz’s fault!

Accused “cannibal cop” Gilberto Valle told a shrink that he’s “experienced erotic arousal…when imagining women being abducted and bound by others” since seeing the blonde beauty’s 1994 silver-screen debut when he was an adolescent, court papers reveal.

That “pattern of arousal appears to have originated with a scene in the movie, ‘The Mask,’ in which Cameron Diaz pretends to be abducted and bound,” Valle’s defense lawyers said of the Jim Carrey vehicle.

And while the 29-year-old Valle discovered Internet porn in high school “and was particularly interested in bondage websites,” the Manhattan federal court filing says his taste for cannibalism didn’t develop until college, when he found some porn DVDs that belonged to one of his roommates.

“It was this discovery that led Valle to darker fetish Web sites, including ‘Muki’s Kitchen,’ which was his gateway into cannibalism pornography,” public defenders Julia Gatto and Edward Zas wrote.
