Record contained sufficient evidence to support defendant’s conviction on charge of transportation of minor across state lines (from Illinois to Indiana) with intent that minor engage in prostitution, and where minor engaged in prostitution two days later. Fact that no prostitution occurred during first two days following minor’s return to Indiana did not require different result, where: (1) defendant was arranging for minor to engage in prostitution both before and after minor had crossed state lines; and (2) record showed that only relationship defendant had with minor was one of pimp to prostitute. Also, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion for mistrial based on govt. expert’s misstatement that she had no involvement in case. There was no evidence that expert deliberately lied, and Dist. Ct. allowed govt. to recall expert to address misstatement.
