Criminal Court
Sentencing
Dist. Ct. erred in sentencing defendant to 120-month term of incarceration on charge of traveling in interstate commerce to engage in prohibited sexual conduct with minor where recommended sentencing guideline was 70-to-87 months, and where record failed to contain evidentiary support for Dist. Ct.'s belief that recidivism rate for child sex abusers was massive. Moreover, Dist. Ct. failed to identify aggravating circumstance that was particular to individual circumstances of instant case so as to warrant sentence outside of recommended guideline.
