US v. Brown, No. 07-4197

Defendant's child pornography sentence is affirmed where, applying a "limited context" test that permits consideration of the context in which the pornographic photographs were taken but limits the consideration of contextual evidence to the circumstances directly related to the taking of the images, the court determines that certain photos at issue were "lascivious" under the Sentencing Guidelines.
