Bensing's attorney, James Brehm, said Saturday. He said Bensing was joking.

"That didn’t have anything to do with this. It was just like you and I talking trash and texting and six months later, someone gets a hold of your phone and tie it to what he’s charged with," Brehm said.

...

Contrary to some media reports, Judge Letitia H. Verdin said Bensing never traveled out of Myrtle Beach to meet the supposed girl and never called, even after given an opportunity during an online chat. The judge also said he had no prior criminal charges. Those factors, combined with his mental limitations, were factors in determining his sentence, Verdin said.

Brehm said Bensing has received death threats since his charges and does not leave his home. He saidthe talk of cannibalism was never meant to be a part of this investigation.

"That was Will Lewis grandstanding," Brehm said. "The press conference is when he talks bout cannibalism."

He won't be able to do five years probation.  You watch....he'll screw up and end up doing his 5 years in prison and probably get the sheet fked out of him or the sheet kicked out of him by every real man in there!!
