   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3061
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Arnold and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in concluding defendant consented to a warrantless search of his residence and his computer and storage media; scope of search did not exceed the scope of defendant's general consent to the search; no error in admitting evidence of molestation of the victim and the pornographic anime defendant showed her as it established the context in which defendant took nude photos of the victim, as well as his grooming process; in this prosecution for production of child pornography, no error in admitting other child pornography found on defendant's computer; no error in admitting a picture of defendant's ex-wife wearing a bondage costume identical to the one shown in the photos of the victim, as the picture tended to prove defendant took the photos of the victim; the district court did not abuse its discretion in limiting defendant's cross-examination of the victim concerning her depression and counseling as he failed to make any offer of proof to show how the questioning would have been relevant to the witness's credibility or bias.
