United States v. Osman, No. 14-14124 (11th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty to one count of production of child pornography, one count of distribution of child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography. On appeal, defendant challenged the restitution order. The Mandatory Restitution for Sexual Exploitation of Children Act, 18 U.S.C. 2259, mandates that a district court order restitution for crimes involving the sexual exploitation of children. The court concluded that the district court did not err in concluding that the victim, defendant's one-year-old daughter, had suffered a loss or in awarding her restitution for future counseling expenses needed to address that loss. The court explained that, given the facts here, it seems that the need for future therapy was not just likely, but a virtual certainty. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
