   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1723
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and
   Webber, District Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law. In a prosecution for sex trafficking of a
   minor under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1951, the district court committed reversible
   error when it instructed the jury that it could convict defendant if he knew
   or acted in reckless disregard of the fact that the girl involved was
   younger than 18 as the version of the statute in effect at the time of
   defendant's 2007 offense required the government to prove defendant
   actually knew that the girl was younger than 18.
