   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Bright and John R. Gibson, Circuit Judges]
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Immigration Judge's findings with
   respect to petitioner's lack of credibility were supported by specific,
   cogent reasons and were entitled to deference; on the merits, petitioner's
   asylum claim based on his clan membership was properly denied as he
   failed to show the actions taken against him and his family were anything
   more than the actions of common criminals; statutory rape is a crime of
   moral turpitude and is a basis for removal; petitioner was not entitled to
   relief under the Convention Against Torture.
