He was arrested in October, after his wife gave police evidence that he had been plotting kidnapping and cannibalism.
His defense team had argued that as he hadn't carried out his plans, that they were just thoughts and therefore could not be considered a crime.
The prosecution used evidence that he had begun surveillance, on a potential victim, as proof that they were more than thoughts.
In the end, the jury agreed with the prosecution.
Valle's defense attorneys plan to appeal the conviction.
If the conviction stands, he could face life in prison.
