Geoffrey Portway, 40, who was planning to kidnap children, keep them in a basement dungeon, rape and eat them, should be imprisoned for at least 27 years, federal authorities said.
"Portway has pled guilty to some of the most vile and heinous crimes known to our society," federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing recommendation.
Authorities searched his house last year and discovered tens of thousands of computer pictures and videos of child pornography, 4,500 exchanges of child pornography between Portway and other people he talked to online. The pictures included children being cooked and prepared to be eaten, court documents said.
According to court records, Portway went by the moniker "Fat Longpig" during his online chats.
While searching the home, police also discovered a locked basement, court documents show, that contained a child-sized coffin, a steel cage, steel topped table, two freezers, disposable scalpels, butchering kits and castration tools.
Police seized online chats, saying Portway called his basement a "dungeon" where he intended to "keep kidnapped children while he sexually abused them and as a place to eventually murder and cannibalize the children."
Authorities also said that they convicted two other men who chatted with Portway.
"Portway's collection is truly chilling and demonstrates a real risk based upon which the Court should sentence Portway to a substantial term of years in order to protect the public," prosecutors said.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on September 17.
