An American man who kidnapped a girl from Edmonton and smuggled her across the U.S. border in 2022 will spend five decades in prison for crimes the court said “exhibited a level of depravity we rarely see in this district.”

Noah Madrano, 43, was handed concurrent sentences of 600 months, or 50 years in prison, and 360 months, or 30 years, on Tuesday by Oregon Senior U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman.
