And the murderer of Sarah Everard was addicted to violent porn.
This is something that keeps coming up.
The man who murdered Jane Longhurst, a 31yo teacher, in 2003 was addicted to violent porn including sites that focused on necrophilia.

The family of murdered Brighton teacher Jane Longhurst have met Home Secretary David Blunkett to urge the closure of violent internet porn sites.
Musician Graham Coutts, 35, was jailed for life in January for strangling the 31-year-old after visiting such sites.
He admitted to having a seven-year addiction to online violent pornography.
After the trial, Miss Longhurst's mother, Liz, said political pressure was needed to close down the websites.
She said she believed Coutts' addiction was a factor in her daughter's death.
"It is definitely the case if Graham Coutts had not had the internet...I expect my daughter would be alive today," she said.
Jane's sister and mother did successfully get the law changed to illegalise possession of the level of material Coutts was accessing, but the law is simply not used.

Argus Achievement Award winner Liz Longhurst, who fought alongside former Brighton Kemptown MP David Lepper for the law – part of the 2008 Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill – to be implemented, spoke on the tenth anniversary of her daughter Jane’s death.
“As far as I am aware it has only been used on a handful of occasions.”
“I am very disappointed, for example, that the judge in the Joanna Yeates’ trial [the murdered Bristol woman] did not tell the jury that the killer had viewed extreme porn until after he was convicted.
“Why was it that he only saw fit to tell them this then – when he had already been convicted? [bold mine]
“However, I am very glad there is such a law, even if I am disappointed it is not used as often as it could be.”

More recently, the serial killer Stephen Port who killed four men and sexually assaulted others was obsessed with pornography showing men being drugged and raped.
The inquests would also hear that, at that time, formal advice from homicide officers to check a laptop and phone belonging to Port was ignored. Had they been sent for forensic analysis Port's obsession with drugging and raping young men would have been uncovered.
When they were eventually analysed the following year - after a request from a coroner - they showed that Port had persistently watched "drug rape" pornography. Even then, a detective failed to even look at the relevant sections of the forensic report. By then, police had closed their investigation.
