Man who plotted to kill and eat children gets more than 26 years in prison

(CNN) -- A Boston-area man who plotted to kidnap children, rape and eat them, was sentenced Tuesday to more than 26 years in prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release, according to court documents from the United States district attorney's office.

Geoffrey Portway, 40, was also ordered to pay $3,000 in restitution to five children whose images were found in online chats by Portway, according to court documents. Portway, a citizen of the United Kingdom and most recently of Worchester, Massachusetts, also faces deportation following his release from prison, according to court documents.

According to defense attorney Richard Sweeney, Portway's sentencing is in accordance with a plea agreement he signed in May, during which he pleaded guilty to distribution and possession of child pornography and solicitation to commit a crime of violence.

Sweeney declined additional comment Tuesday on his client's sentence of 320 months, or 26 years and eight months, in prison.

1. As horrible as this may sound...is this guy all there ? NO.

Shouldn't he be in a ward somewhere or is his brain eaten up by some devastating virus.

It's easy to just say: Shoot the crazy bastard but...aren't we better than that ?
rather confusing issue...
