United States v. Worden, No. 10-3567 (7th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant entered a plea of guilty to advertising child pornography, a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2251(d)(1), agreeing to a comprehensive waiver of appellate rights. Defendant signed a statement: "I acknowledge that . . . the Court is required to order restitution . . . I agree to the entry of a Restitution Order for the full amount of any victims' losses in this case as determined by the Court." The requirement of restitution arises under the Mandatory Restitution for Sexual Exploitation of Children Act, 18 U.S.C. 2259(a), (b). Defendant challenged the district court's order of approximately $500,000 in restitution to one of his victims, a child depicted in pornography in his possession. The Seventh Circuit dismissed the appeal, holding that the restitution order falls within the scope of the appellate waiver in the plea agreement.
