Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Reasonable Doubt
Record failed to contain sufficient evidence to support defendant's conviction under 18 USC section 2422(b) on charge of using any facility of interstate commerce to induce minor to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person could be charged with criminal offense, where basis for said conviction was defendant's act of masturbating in front of web cam and inviting police officer, who was posing as minor and watching defendant on computer screen, to do likewise. Sex acts that do not involve physical contact between two people are not covered under section 2422(b).
