A Christian children’s entertainer who allegedly plotted to kidnap, cook and eat a child has been jailed for 20 years.
Ronald William Brown, from Largo, Florida, was handed the sentence for possession of child pornography.
This was despite him regularly warning children about the sin of pornography on his long-running Christian Television Network show.
Brown, 58, also plotted online with Michael Arnett about targeting a specific child to kill and eat.
“I imagine him wiggling and then going still,” Brown is reported telling Arnett in their online chats.
According to Gawker, Brown solicited obscene images of children being tied up, gagged, or otherwise harmed. He wrote out his murder fantasies in online forums and tried to procure photos of dead children.
Brown says he never wanted to actually act out the fantasies.
He’ll be required to register as a sex offender upon his release after 20 years of prison and have to submit to regular probation reviews for the rest of his life.
Brown also will not be allowed to access a computer with an internet connection.
