Teen virgin 'Ripper' Ben Moynihan stabbed women for failing to deflower him, Portsmouth, Hampshire "teen virgin" Ben Moynihan got 21 years for the attempted murders of three women, reported the Huffington Post March 8. Moynihan went on a stabbing rampage and cut three females. His reason? They failed deflower the self-confessed virgin. Moynihan said "all women need to die."
Moynihan styled himself a serial killer like notorious murderers in history. He was consumed with misogynist male killers.The parallels to Whitechapel's Jack the Ripper are awkwardly obvious. The identity of the ripper has never been conclusively determined. Whomever he was, he killed at least five women in London's east end in the 1880s. Moynihan clearly admires the elusiveness and beyond-the-law status of unidentified murderers.
The Ripper wannabe had some bizarre delusions. In his "diary of death" Moynihan gloats that "Every time I stab someone I run home and I like to smell the flesh I ripped out." Moynihan wishes he could gouge womens' eyeballs out too. He ends with a self-aggrandized plea for attention, "Come and arrest me for God sake before I hunt for my fourth victim." This taunting of authorities is characteristic of other sport killers.
With classical persecuted delusions, Moynihan blames the women he stabbed for failing to have sex with him. He bemoans the fact that girls are fussy and don't find him attractive. It seems to be a general indictment against women, not a person vendetta against specific victims. He stabbed three random women ages 21, 45 and 67. Each was walking alone. This is another serial killer pattern Moynihan identified.
So Moynihan fancies himself in the Rogue's Gallery. But what he really is, according to the courts, is a rather pathetic, autistic youth with severe antisocial tendencies and no empathy. Moynihan was sentenced to 21 years for the attempted killings.
