Civil Rights
Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
District court's sentence of a defendant convicted of traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct is affirmed where: 1) the court properly applied an enhancement for unduly influencing a minor after finding that defendant failed to rebut the applicable presumption that he had unduly influenced the much younger victim; 2) the district court permissibly applied an enhancement for use of a computer to entice the minor, even though none of defendant's discussions with the minor about sexual activity occurred via computer; 3) defendant did not qualify for a reduction for acceptance of responsibility because the district court found that he did not testify truthfully in all relevant respects, despite professing to accept responsibility; and 4) defendant's sentence is substantively reasonable, though he will face significant restraints on his freedom when he is on supervised release.
