United States v. King, No. 19-51094 (5th Cir. 2020)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction and sentence for production of child pornography. The court held that the magistrate judge did not commit plain error during the plea colloquy; there was sufficient factual basis to satisfy the jurisdiction hook of 18 U.S.C. 2251(a) and thus support defendant's conviction; the district court did not plainly err by applying three sentencing enhancements under USSG 2G2.1(b)(2)(A) ("sexual contact"); 2G2.1(b)(3) ("distribution"); and 2G2.1(b)(6)(B) ("use of a computer"); and defendant's facial challenge to section 2251(a)'s constitutionality is foreclosed.
