United States v. Shepard, No. 11-4399 (6th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this Case
Shepard was convicted of three counts of receipt of visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and one count of attempted receipt and was sentenced to 168 months in prison and five years on supervised release. The district court also imposed a $400 special assessment, ordered Shepard to pay $3,000 in restitution to a child victim, and imposed special conditions of supervision, prohibiting any access by Shepard to computers, cameras, or video equipment without prior written approval. The Sixth Circuit remanded for retrial, finding error in the court’s failure to replace a juror who asserted he would not view the pornographic images presented as evidence.
