U.S. v. Mantanes

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 210-month term of incarceration on charge of receipt of child pornography even though defendant argued that Dist. Ct. did not properly consider section 3553(a) factors when imposing said sentence. Dist. Ct. explicitly mentioned factors such as seriousness of offense, extent of defendant's possession of pornography, need for deterrence in light of defendant's diagnosis as pedophile with continuing urges, as well as need to protect public and need for sex offender treatment. Moreover, instant sentence was within applicable guidelines, and defendant failed to overcome resulting presumption that said sentence was reasonable.
