United States Seventh Circuit

Prior convictions for sexual abuse may support both an upward departure for a pattern of sexual abuse against children under USSG Section 2G2.2(b)(4) and an increase in a defendant-s criminal history level under USSG Section 4A1.3(e) without violating the stricture against double-counting, where defendant admits uncontroverted, and corroborated acts of abuse to unprosecuted, but uncontroverted, crimes.
