Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his sentence after being convicted of illegal reentry. The district court applied a 16-level enhancement based on its determination that defendant had committed a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii). Defendant acknowledged that he was convicted under section 3-307(a)(3) of Maryland's criminal code. The court concluded that a violation of section 307(a)(3) constituted sexual abuse of a minor under the plain-meaning approach and was a crime of violence. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
