United States Sixth Circuit

Sentences imposed after defendants pleaded guilty to coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of that conduct, and possession of child pornography, are affirmed where both sentences were reasonable and one defendant had adequate notice of the district court's intention to sentence her above the Guidelines range.
