(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).

In an appeal from a district court’s decision declining to “reopen [a] detention hearing under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f),” the Second Circuit concludes that the district court declining to reopen the detention hearing wasn’t an abuse of discretion. And the district court’s consideration of the strength of the evidence against the defendant, in weighing the bail factors listed in § 3142(g), didn’t impinge on the presumption of innocence because that’s a trial right that “has no application to a determination of the rights of a pretrial detainee.” United States v. Zhang, No. 22-1761-cr, __ F.4th ____, 2022 WL 17419594 (2d Cir. Dec. 6, 2022) (C.J.J.’s Raggi, Wesley, and Nardini).

Second Circuit: On a motion under the First Step Act, a court isn’t obligated to “recalculate” the Sentencing Guidelines range to account for new Guidelines provisions “or new judicial interpretations of existing Guidelines.” Only Guideline-changes “that flow from the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010” have to be considered. But there’s an acknowledged circuit split. United States v. Moore, __F.3d__, No. 19-1390-cr, 2020 WL 5523205 (2d Cir. Sept. 15, 2020).
