Correct?
If so that is pretty messed up.

This is from over two years ago - the guy was convicted on no evidence other than his role-playing chats on a cannibalism site. He spent 21 months in prison until yesterday. All for fantasy. If I remember correctly, there was nothing else - no accessing records thru the police department, nothing - other than a fantasy that "normal" people couldn't stomach - so he was convicted for it.
Personally, I don't get the cannibalism fantasy. But what I do get is it was fantasy - nothing acted out. Thankfully a Federal Judge saw it that way too. Fucking juries!
