   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1355
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Kelly and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in excluding 
   evidence of the victim's sexual communications with other men as the 
   evidence did not fall within the exceptions to Rule 412's prohibition on 
   the admission of such evidence; defendant's proposed evidence concerning 
   "fantasy source material" was cumulative and it was not error to exclude 
   it; the district court did not abuse its discretion by limiting 
   defendant's cross-examination of the victim to 90 minutes, four times the 
   length of the government's direct examination; the district court did not 
   abuse its discretion in refusing to instruct the jury that knowledge of 
   the victim's age is an element of the offense under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 
   2251(a); evidence was sufficient to support defendant's convictions; 
   Eighth Amendment challenge to defendant's sentence, which was less than 
   the statutory maximum, is rejected. Judge Kelly, concurring.
