United States Sixth Circuit


US v. Shafer, 07-2574

Defendant's child pornography sentence is vacated, where the victim did not engage in intentional "sexual contact" with Defendant under 18 U.S.C. section 2246(3), and Defendant's sexual contact with the victim unrelated to the offense was irrelevant to Defendant's sentence.
