United States v. Bacon
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided July 7, 2011No. 10-40088PublishedCited by 17 opinions
1Per curiam
Welles Bacon (“Bacon”) appeals his sentence for child pornography possession, challenging only the district court’s application of the five-level sentencing enhancement under United States Sentencing Guidelines (“U.S.S.G.”) § 2G2.2(b)(5) for a pattern of activity involving the sexual abuse or exploitation of a minor. He argues that the activities in question are too remote as they occurred thirty years ago. We agree with our sister circuits which have unanimously concluded that such remote-in-time occurrences may be considered and AFFIRM the district court’s sentence.
