You would get at least 15 years inside, and 18 with the WN charges. Alternatively, you could plead guilty to childporn and get 3 years in all, out in half that with good behaviour. I think most would at least consider it.

I don't know anybody that would. A conviction for child porn is a conviction for life - even when you get out after your hypothetical three years, you have the general public to contend with, the sex offenders register, the employment issues, the family/wife/access to kids issues and probably a hundred more things I haven't thought of.
18 years is nothing compared to a lifetime of the hell that comes with being a convicted paedophile - genuine conviction or not.
