U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-1182
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Loken and Grasz, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and Sentencing. On this record, the
magistrate judge conducting voir dire did not abuse his discretion in
refusing to remove jurors defendant had challenged for cause; 18 U.S.C.
Section 2251(a) contains no scienter element as to the victim's age, and a
mistake as to age is not a defense to charges of producing child
pornography; the evidence was sufficient to support defendant's
convictions for producing and distributing child pornography; at
sentencing, the district court could consider similar conduct even if
defendant had been acquitted of the charges in state court; defendant's
sentence, the statutory maximum on each count, to be served consecutively,
for a total sentence of 1,680 months, was not substantively unreasonable.
