United States v. Mozie, No. 12-12538 (11th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his convictions for eight counts of child sex trafficking, in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1591; one count of conspiring to commit child sex trafficking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1594(c); and another count of producing child pornography. Defendant's convictions stemmed from his operation of a brothel involving minor girls in his home. The court rejected defendant's constitutional challenges to section 1591 and 1594(c); the district court did not err, much less plainly err, in instructing the jury and did not constructively amend the indictment as to the first nine convictions; and defendant's life sentence was reasonable and did not violate the Eighth Amendment. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
