JOAQUIN, Texas — A Texas man that authorities say planned to sexually assault, kill and then eat a child was arrested earlier this month with the help of a Brevard County, Florida undercover agent.
• Alexander Barter charged with conspiracy to commit capital murder
• Authorities say he met Florida agent to try to broker deal for child
• Investigators say he plotted to commit necrophilia, cannibalism
Alexander Barter, 21, of Joaquin, Texas, has been charged with criminal solicitation, capital murder, conspiracy to commit capital murder and sexual performance of a child. He was taken into custody Friday, October 19 in Texas.
Brevard County Sheriff's officials say one of their undercover agents, who is also a member of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations Task Force, spotted an internet post from someone "looking for anyone who would allow him to commit necrophilia and cannibalism."

Seasoned law enforcement officers said they'd never seen a case like this.
"This individual is one of the most sick, disgusting, and demented people I believe I've ever had the unfortunate nature to be involved with," Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said.
Ivey said that after Barter's arrest, he thanked the officers for stopping him, because he was supposedly unable to stop himself.
"For me, it's hard to imagine we have monsters walking around among us that are masquerading as humans," Ivey said
