112458P.pdf 07/23/2012 United States v. Terry Ward
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-2458
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and
Gerrard, District Judge]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. For the court's prior
opinion in the case, see United States v. Ward, 598 F.3d 1054 (8th Cir.
2010). Evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for
sexual exploitation of a minor because in secretly filming the minor
before and after she showered, he used or persuaded the girl to take part
in producing a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct; district court
did not abuse its discretion in weighing defendant's claimed mitigating
factors and the sentence imposed was not substantively unreasonable.
