A Louisiana man was sentenced to 45 years in prison on Wednesday after he to kidnap and attempted to murder gay teens Jeffrey Dahmer style in attempt to 'satisfy a compulsive murder-fantasy.'
Chance Seneca, 21, pleaded guilty in September on kidnapping charges after it was revealed he used the Grindr dating app and Snapchat to persuade men into meeting with the goal of 'murdering and dismembering' them.
Seneca spent months perfecting his murder-kidnapping plan to mirror Dahmer's actions of targeting gay men, killing them and eating and preserving their bodies, the Department of Justice wrote in a press release.
The attempted serial killer's first victim was then 18-year-old Holden White - who Seneca successfully coaxed and used several methods in attempt to kill him.
'The facts of this case are truly shocking, and the defendant's decision to specifically target gay men is a disturbing reminder of the unique prejudices and dangers facing the LGBTQ+ community today,' Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said.
