United States v. Richard Kraemer

Ripple, Circuit Judge.

Richard Kraemer pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252 (a)(4)(B). At sentencing, the district court determined that Mr. Kraemer's prior Wisconsin convictions for first-degree and second-degree sexual assault of a child constituted convictions "relating to ... abusive sexual conduct involving a minor" and therefore triggered a ten-year, mandatory minimum sentence. 18 U.S.C. § 2252 (b)(2). The district court then imposed a sentence of 133 months' imprisonment, followed by eight years of supervised release.
