HULL, Circuit Judge:
A federal jury convicted Appellant John Allen Root-of one count of attempting to persuade a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b), and one count of traveling in interstate commerce for the purpose of engaging in a criminal sexual act with a. minor, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b). Root appeals his conviction and sentencing enhancement based on the fact, that the “minor” involved was not an actual minor, but an undercover law enforcement officer.
