United States v. Bradley Cook

Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

Decided April 9, 2015No. 13-3331PublishedCited by 26 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.

Bradley Cook pled guilty to one count of commercial sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1591(a) and (b)(1), 1 1594, and 2. Before entering his plea, he filed a motion to dismiss this count, arguing 18 U.S.C. § 1591 was unconstitutionally vague as applied to him, a purchaser of commercial sex. As part of his plea agreement, Cook retained the right to appeal any denial of his motion to dismiss. The district court 2 denied the motion to dismiss, finding the statute was not unconstitutionally vague as applied to Cook. We affirm.
