Investigators were shocked to find Geoffrey Portway had created a sound-proofed torture chamber in his home in Worcester, Massachusetts which featured a cage, a child-sized coffin with restraints, butchery equipment and a pair of large freezers in a hidden cellar.

Portway was arrested after revealing his plans online, and has now pleaded guilty to plotting to kidnap a child and to distributing and possessing child porn.

Prosecutors want Portway to serve 27 years in prison. Once his jail sentence is complete he will be returned to the UK.
