1Opinion of the Court
McKEOWN, Circuit Judge:
Rakesh Dhingra appeals his conviction on one count of using the Internet to solicit sexual activity from a minor, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b). On appeal, Dhingra raises a host of constitutional challenges. We conclude that § 2422(b) is not facially unconstitutional as overbroad and vague, nor does it violate the First and Tenth Amendments for incorporating state criminal sexual offense statutes. We are also unpersuaded by Dhingra’s multiple evidentiary and sentencing challenges. Accordingly, we affirm Dhingra’s conviction and sentence.
