British 'cannibal' admits plotting to raping, killing and eating child

Twisted Geoffrey Portway trawled the internet for victims and planned to carry out unspeakable atrocities inside a homemade dungeon he built underneath his house.

He now faces 27 years in jail before he is deported back to the UK. When police raided the 40-year-old’s home in Worcester, Massachusetts, they discovered a locked door in the basement. This led to a second door that opened into Portway’s dungeon which was equipped with a steel cage, scalpels, butchering kits, freezers and castration tools. It also contained a child-size coffin.

Portway had also lined the cellar with special material to muffle a child’s scream.

Portway spent hundreds of hours in a variety of online forums, discussing “abducting, raping, murdering, and eating children” and swapping child porn. He used Skype to communicate with one fellow pervert over a period of several months, asking him for help with kidnapping children.

A forensic examination of the computers uncovered evidences of over 4,500 trades of child pornography between Portway and others.

Many of these involved him distributing child pornography to others, including images and videos appearing to depict dead children and the cannibalism of children.

Bruce Foucart, of Homeland Security Investigations Boston, said “Portway’s guilty plea should serve as a stern warning: We will investigate you, we will prosecute you and we will bring you to justice.”
