United States v. Rock, No. 12-3032 (D.C. Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe DC Circuit affirmed defendant's 172 month sentence after he pleaded guilty to distribution of child pornography. The court held that the government's recidivism comment was only that—a comment—and appeared to have had no influence on the length of imprisonment to which defendant was sentenced. Defendant's sentence was also procedurally reasonable. However, the court vacated two conditions of supervised release: notifying the probation office when he establishes a significant romantic relationship and informing the other party of his prior criminal sex offenses, and penile plethysmograph testing.
