United States Sixth Circuit

Conviction of defendant for traveling in interstate commerce for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 2423(b) is affirmed where: 1) defendant's entrapment defense fails because the evidence incontrovertibly establishes that he was predisposed to commit the offense; 2) defendant's claim that the government's conduct was so outrageous that due process considerations would bar a conviction is rejected as meritless; 3) district court did not err in rejecting the manufactured jurisdiction defense; 4) defendant's claim that the district court erred by refusing to suppress his post-arrest statements is rejected; and 5) district court did not err in imposing the sentence enhancement.
