U.S. v. Nicoson

Dist. Ct. did not err in sentencing defendant to 295-month term of incarceration on two counts of transportation of child pornography under 18 USC section 2252A(a)(1), even though Dist. Ct. based said sentence on section 2G2.1 of USSG, which was designed for violators of 18 USC section 2251(a), who induce minors to engage in sexually explicit conduct for purpose of producing and transmitting live depiction of such conduct. Dist. Ct. could properly rely on section 2G2.1 of USSG, where record showed that defendant’s webcam had recorded and transmitted to his computer three still images of live obscene performance by young girl, which, in turn, suggested that defendant had solicited said girl to perform in video that he recorded.
