Pictured: Bird lover and horror movie enthusiast, 35, who lived with her ... trends now
A British woman who was charged after a horrific monkey torturing network was uncovered previously slammed an action film for portraying 'gratuitously animal cruelty' of birds - hitting out at the 'sick' scene for going 'too far'.
Holly LeGresley, 37, of Kidderminster was charged earlier this month alongside Adriana Orme, 55, of Upton-upon Severn with relation to causing, consuming and facilitating the torture of monkeys.
It came after a year-long investigation by the BBC revealed a global network of monsters who would 'commission' people living in Thailand or Indonesia to film monkeys being tortured to later be shared online.
LeGresley had gone by the name of 'The Immolator' online and was said to be a moderator in one of the most prolific groups which would see monkeys sadistically beaten, burned and even doused in acid.
The gore obsessed woman - who lives with her parents in the Midlands - previously described Hannibal Lecter, a serial killer who eats his victims, and Pennywise, the clown from IT who preys on children, as her 'horror icons', MailOnline can reveal.
In another post, LeGresley claims she 'utterly obsessed' with horror writer Clive Barker and the main character in his Hellraiser: Pinhead - a demonic creature that tears its victims apart with hooks.
Yet sat alongside her rave reviews of scary films are dozens of contradictory images of her cradling and cuddling up to two cockatiels, Chancey and Princess Pea. In other pictures she appears to be holding a tarantula in her hands.
In another post, LeGresley continues to portray herself as an animal-lover and even a campaigner against animal abuse.

Writing in October 2021, after watching the Suicide Squad spin-off Birds of Prey she wrote: 'I just watched The Suicide Squad. They burn an aviary full of parrots alive using gasoline and call that entertainment.'
'That's sick. You don't do that s***, even [with] computer graphics because it's too far.
'Shouldn't be allowed to put such gratuitous animal cruelty in a movie when it doesn't even really serve the story. Sick twisted people who made this film. Won't be spending any more of my money on the franchise. What a disappointment.'
LeGresley is just one of 20 or so people thought to have been investigated over links to the monkey torture network that had members from all over the world, including the US and Australia.
The charges were made against LeGresley and Orme were made by West Mercia police force were made in relation to causing, consuming and facilitating the torture of monkeys.
Both women have been bailed and will appear at Worcester Magistrates Court on May 7.
It comes after Michael McCartney, 50, was charged in Virginia with conspiracy to create and distribute animal-crushing footage.
McCartney - dubbed the 'Torture King' - was one of three key distributors who was identified in the probe into the cruel monkey torture gangs.
