Defendant was found guilty of attempted sex trafficking of a minor and was sentenced to 180 months in prison. On appeal, defendant argued that the district court erred when it excluded two lines of an expert’s testimony. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that defendant waived the objection to one exclusion and that the district court acted within its discretion regarding the other. (LEE and MALDONADO, concurring)
