142969P.pdf 06/15/2016 United States v. David Emmert, Jr.
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2969
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. No error in admitting
evidence that defendant committed two sexual assaults against minors in
this prosecution for possession of child pornography as the evidence was
probative of defendant's sexual interests in underage girls and the images
depicted acts similar to those involved in the sexual assault incidents;
there is no time limit on Rule 414 evidence and the fact that one of the
incidents occurred in 1989 did not preclude admission of the evidence;
ACCA sentencing enhancements based on convictions for crimes committed as
a juvenile do not violate the Eighth Amendment; restitution award to one
victim affirmed.
