United States Eleventh Circuit

After a child pornography conviction, a four-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. section 2G2.2(b)(3), for sadistic or masochistic material, is proper despite the absence of expert testimony showing that computer images involved pain to the minors portrayed. Defendant failed to prove reduced mental capacity for a departure under section 5K2.13.
