United States Seventh Circuit

Sentence for traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor is affirmed where: 1) remarks of the judge at sentencing discharged his duty to consider not only the sentencing guidelines, but also the sentencing factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a); and 2) because the sentence was reasonable, there was no basis in the Supreme Court's recent decision in Gall v. US, 2007 WL 4292116 (U.S. Dec. 10, 2007) to invalidate the sentence.
