(1) Evidence was sufficient to prove a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a) — which prohibits using a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce a visual depiction of that conduct — when the defendant created a video showing a fully clothed, sleeping teenager and the defendant (nearby) engaging in conduct with himself. (2) Also, a 5-level sentencing enhancement, for engaging in a “pattern of activity” involving “prohibited sexual conduct,” was proper — under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.5(b)(1) — based on the offense of conviction and proof (by a preponderance) of just one other prohibited act. (3) Finally, a 70-year prison sentence, the Circuit holds. isn’t substantively unreasonable. United States v. Osuba, No. 20-3322, __ F.4th ____ (2d Cir. Apr. 17, 2023) (C.J.J.’s Calabresi, Park, Nardini).
