U.S. v. Kelly

Defendant appealed from his conviction for multiple charges related to producing child pornography, arguing that the charges were not filed within the required statute of limitations, that the district court should have severed his trial, and that his sentence was procedurally and substantively improper. The Court of Appeals affirmed, explaining that defendant was subject to the current statute of limitations for sex crimes against children, which extends through the life of the victim, and that the resulting sentence imposed by the district court was procedurally proper and substantively fair. (RIPPLE and SYKES, concurring)
