A teenager who attempted to murder three women in revenge for not being able to lose his virginity has been found guilty on three charges following a weeklong trial.

In June and July of last year, 18-year-old Ben Moynihan of Portsmouth, Hampshire, stabbed three women aged 20, 45, and 67 as they were walking home alone.

Medical experts have said that Moynihan “showed features of autistic spectrum disorder.” His journal named “diary of evil” is incredibly misogynistic in nature. One diary entry, said:

“I was planning to murder mainly women as an act of revenge because of the life they gave me, I’m still a virgin at 17. And why do women have to be fussy when choosing a boyfriend, or cheating on them with others. I attack women because I grew up to believe them as a more weaker part of the human breed. I also done it to get out of this horrible life with more stress and to save myself and my family, I’m not a bad child and didn’t want to do this but have no choice.”

Moynihan’s said felt he was entitled to sex, and the fact that he wasn’t getting it meant all women are “fussy” “sluts” who deserve to be brutally murdered:

“I think every girl is a type of slut, they are fussy with men nowadays, they do not give boys like us a chance. I am still a virgin, everyone is losing it before me, that’s why you are my chosen target.”

Moynihan told police he was planning on continuing his attacks at the time of his arrest and was already “hunting for his fourth victim.”
