United States Seventh Circuit

Denial of motion for judgment of acquittal is affirmed where the Pinkerton co-conspirator doctrine does not distinguish a case of interstate travel for sex with a minor from others where defendants were acquitted of a predicate offense and convicted of a compound offense, but sentencing is vacated where the court incorrectly applied an 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) factor.
