A 38-year-old Kansas man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for taking pornographic photos of young children.
The photos included one that showed a naked 2-year-old boy in a roasting pan inside an oven.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office said Micheal D. Arnett of Roeland Park was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty in February to one count of producing child pornography.
Arnett admitted during his plea hearing that he took pictures of young children engaged in sexual activity from 2000 through the summer of 2008. Three boys in the images were ages 11, 8 and 2.
When investigators arrested Arnett in May, they found disturbing online discussions on his computer in which he and other child porn talked about kidnapping and eating children.
