United States v. Deion Lockhart

CARL E. STEWART, Chief Judge:

Following a Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) inquiry into a child sex trafficking ring, a jury found Defendants-Appellants -guilty of various crimes charged in an eleven-count indictment. All four appeal the jury’s guilty verdicts. We AFFIRM each conviction, with one exception. Finding that the district court’s jury instructions regarding 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (Sex Trafficking of Children) constructively amended the indictment, we VACATE and REMAND Appellant McCullouch’s conviction as to that count.'
