United States v. Davila-Nieves

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided January 6, 2012No. 10-1719PublishedCited by 37 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.

Eduardo Dávila-Nieves (Dávila) got caught attempting to induce a person he believed to be a minor to engage in sexual activity, and a Puerto Rico jury found him guilty of violating 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). Claiming multiple errors, he appeals. As we find no merit to Dávila’s arguments, we affirm.

BACKGROUND

“The facts, though disturbing, are not greatly disputed. Regardless, because [Dávila] challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, we recount them in some detail, and in the light most favorable to the verdict.” United States v. Berk, 652 F.3d 132, 134 (1st Cir.2011).
