U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1006
and No: 12-1100
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court erred in granting
defendants' motion for judgment of acquittal on the ground that the
evidence was insufficient to support a conviction for sex trafficking under
18 U.S.C. Sec. 1591; the plain and unambiguous provisions of the section
apply to both suppliers and consumers of commercial sex acts; the
evidence in both cases showed defendants attempted to obtain or gain
exclusive possession, custody and control of an underage girl knowing
that the girl would be caused to engage in a commercial sex act, and they
were guilty of violating the statute.
