Man Who Plotted to Cannibalize Child Sentenced to 27 Years
Also had child porn
Worcester, Mass. -- Child pornographer Geoffrey Portway, who asked a Kansas man to kidnap a child for him so he could torture, kill, cook, and eat the child in a sound-proof dungeon he built in his basement, today was sentenced to nearly 27 years in federal prison.
Portway, a 40-year-old citizen of the United Kingdom, was also ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution to five children he victimized as part of his participation in the dissemination of child pornography that included 5,700 documented times he shared images with others, according to court records.

Not familiar with this story, but if the evidence was conclusive, seems the guy should spend the rest of his life behind bars. He's damaged goods.
A regular Albert Fish in the making. Glad they got him before he went full dastard.
