South Carolina authorities said a man who wanted to enslave and eat a child has been sentenced to probation.
Justin Teeter Bensing, 36, pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal solicitation of a minor and was sentenced on August 9 to 10 years in prison.
But that sentence has since been reduced to five years of probation.
According to The Greenville News, Bensing, who has been diagnosed with autism, was considered low risk.
The judge said no prior criminal charges were also among the factors determining Bensing’s sentence.
In February, Bensing had been charged during a child predator sting in Greenville County after soliciting an undercover officer he thought was a girl, authorities said.
At the time, Sheriff Will Lewis said Bensing wanted to ‘cannibalize’ a sex trafficking victim.
According to the Greenville News, Bensing used the name ‘Rebel Deese’ in online chats and asked a girl, whom he believed to be underage, if she was ‘ready to be a full time baby maker and sex slave’.
He also spoke about the sexual fetish of coprophilia and explained that he wanted to drink her urine when they met.
During the sting operation, several officers posed as underage children to lure suspects to a location to meet for sex.
Bensing was one of 14 suspects tied to the sting that took place in January and February.

Police arrested and charged 29 other suspects with prostitution and human trafficking.
James Brehm, Bensing’s attorney, said Saturday that the cannibalism comments were Bensing joking with someone else and unrelated to the investigation.
Brehm also said Bensing has received death threats since his charges and does not leave his home.
If Bensing violates his probation he could face the 10-year sentence.
