   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1148
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Loken and Arnold, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Special sex-offender condition of defendant's 
   supervision in his revocation sentence was justified by his prior 
   conviction for aggravated sexual assault and failure to register as a sex 
   offender; while the offenses occurred some time ago, defendant never 
   completed a sex-offender treatment program and the probation officer had 
   concluded that he displayed some moderate risk for re-offending; the 
   continued presence of risk factors, combined with the lack of prior 
   treatment, indicates defendant's rehabilitative needs support the 
   condition. Further, it should be noted that defendant had begun the 
   treatment program before committing the current violation (completion of 
   sex offender treatment was a condition of supervision in his original 
   sentence) and defendant's flagrant violation of supervision should not 
   result in his release from an obligation imposed in his original sentence.
