EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon man has been sentenced to nearly 121 years in prison for what a prosecutor called the “sexual torture” of an infant boy.

The Register-Guard reports that 37-year-old David James Woodworth of Eugene pleaded guilty last week to 20 charges that included sexual abuse, sodomy and using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct

In 2006, Woodworth videotaped himself sodomizing the 1-year-old boy in a series of ways as the child screamed in pain.

Lane County Deputy District Attorney David Schwartz told Judge Charles Zennache that he debated whether to show the judge a portion of the videotapes, saying detectives called it “the worst thing they’d ever seen.”

Woodworth cried briefly when his defense attorney, Chris Hansen, said he would likely die in prison.
