   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3355
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. A prosecution for transporting a minor with 
   intent to engage in criminal sexual activity in violation of 18 U.S.C. 
   Sec. 2423(a) does not require the government to show that defendant knew 
   his victim was a minor as Congress meant the statute to have a 
   strict-liability age element; the district court correctly held that the 
   government did not need to prove that defendant specifically intended to 
   engage in sexual activity as such; it was required to prove only that 
   defendant intended the victim to engage in sexual activity and that the 
   sexual activity was unlawful. Judge Grasz, dissenting.
