EXCLUSIVE Man accused over website tale about pop band being raped, hacked to death and sold on ebaY

An internet blogger has been charged over a sickening online story about kidnapping, raping and butchering Girls Aloud - then selling their mutilated bodies.

The 34-year-old man was arrested after a year-long worldwide probe by crack detectives from Britain and Interpol.

Cops swooped on the home he shares with his mum and dad after a perverted fantasy tale about the five pop babes was serialised on an erotic website.

The story is titled Girls (Scream) Aloud.

And in a lurid plug, the site describes it as "the very sexy deaths of all five members of the world's sexiest all-girl group". It spells out in graphic detail how Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts are snatched and abused by a brutal sex monster. The fiend then murders the girls before ruthlessly dismembering their bodies.

And in a final act of appalling depravity, he auctions off their mutilated body-parts on eBay.

The blog began exactly a year ago on a bizarre website specialising in fantasies about murder, torture and child abuse.

A flood of complaints about the vile postings deluged the Internet Watch Foundation, a nationwide body which cracks down on sick material on the net.

Officials launched their own investigation - and decided to call in police.

Cops at first believed the blogs had started in America.

But the trail eventually led to the UK after a joint probe by detectives in London, Northumbria and the US.

And the alleged blogger was finally tracked down to Tyneside and arrested after internet experts meticulously tracked all the postings to the website.

He was later freed on bail and is believed to have undergone hospital treatment as part of his bail conditions.

He said: "Yes, I did write the stuff about Girls Aloud and I'm sorry if I caused offence or worry - it wasn't what I intended.

"What I wrote was just a fantasy thing. It was harmless."

He refused to explain WHY he had used the girl band, saying: "I'm not a fan of theirs at all so there's no real reason I picked them - I just did.

"I've written other articles along the same lines which are not about Girls Aloud or celebrities and which I've not been charged over.

"But I'm not prepared to go into why I write them."

Cheryl, 25, Sarah, 26, Nadine, 23, Kimberley, 26, and Nicola, 22, rocketed to fame through the ITV1 show Popstars: The Rivals.

They won international acclaim with a string of hits like Sound Of The Underground and Love Machine.

But they were forced to step up security last year when a naked lesbian stalker slipped into their dressing room.

The band immediately hired five former SAS guards to protect them.

'Yes, I wrote it but I'm not prepared to say why I did'

He is due to appear in court on Tuesday to face charges under the Obscene Publication Act.

The man at the centre of the probe insisted last night the story was NOT malicious.

The weirdest part is that he actually created a fictional character to sell their body parts on Ebay.
