A convicted child molester has been accused of serving human flesh to his neighbors and telling them it was deer meat. >Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, from Worcester, Massachusetts, served neighbors what he called 'little boy pot pie' and 'French fried boy' during barbecues at his home in 1999, police discovered.

He is believed to have served the human meat in pies, burgers, casseroles, chilli and spaghetti, and when told his dishes had a 'peculiar taste' he told friends he had made them using deer meat, which he had 'hunted, killed, butchered and wrapped' on his own.

Bar-Jonah was arrested a year later and during a search of his house, police discovered recipes that included child body parts. The man allegedly had been fascinated by the taste of human flesh since the age of six, and according to Metro, he would pick at his scabs until he bled.

He was also described as a 'voracious eater' who weighed in excess of 300 pounds. At just the age of seven, he lured a five-year-old girl into his basement and attempted to choke her. As a teen, he initiated horrific offenses, which included impersonating a police officer to abduct an eight-year-old boy who he sexually assaulted and choked. For the next 20 years, he frequently would pose as a police officer to lure children back to his home.

In 1996, a schoolboy named Zachary Ramsay disappeared on his way to school, around the same time Bar-Jonah was hosting barbecues for his neighbors and plating up 'deer meat'.

…After his arrest in 2000, he was sentenced to 130 years in prison without the possibility of parole for the kidnapping, aggravated assault and sexual assault of several minors. He died in prison in 2008.
