202756P.pdf   08/10/2022  United States  v.  Omar Taylor
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2756
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Gruender and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The evidence was sufficient to support 
   defendant's sex trafficking convictions; the district court did not err 
   when it instructed the jury that a "happy-ending massage" was a commercial 
   sex act; the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting 
   prior bad act evidence - defendant's 2005 conviction for criminal sexual 
   assault in the third degree, his acts with one of the sex workers, and his 
   prior convictions for armed burglary and forgery; conviction for both sex 
   trafficking of a minor and sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion 
   with the same victim does not create Double Jeopardy violation as the two 
   counts each require proof of an element the other does not. Judge Gruender 
   concurring in part and dissenting in part.
