Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 120-month term of incarceration on charge of transportation of minor across state lines with intent to have minor engage in prostitution, even though defendant argued that Dist. Ct. had violated his due process rights by basing said sentence, in part, on inaccurate information that additional mental health treatment would most likely not have lasting impact on defendant’s ability to refrain from further criminal conduct. Defendant failed to make requisite showing that information regarding his mental history was inaccurate, where record established that despite many medical and environmental interventions, defendant had consistently engaged in dangerous and unlawful behavior. Moreover, Dist. Ct. did nothing more than make appropriate prediction about defendant’s future conduct and his ability to lead law abiding life based on accurate information regarding his mental history.
