A Kentucky man will spend the rest of his life in prison – and, legally, then some – for physically and sexually abusing multiple children and hurting an animal to make criminal sexual fetish videos.

Christopher Michael Whittaker, 39, previously pleaded guilty to 92 separate offenses, according to the Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Office. Earlier this week, he was given 10 life sentences.

Most of those offenses are related to the physical and sexual abuse of his girlfriend’s children; she is also charged. But eight of the offenses concern the torture of the family’s pet cat, prosecutors said.
