United States Eighth Circuit

Defendants' sentences for child pornography-related offenses are affirmed where: 1) the district court's explicit statement that "the ultimate sentence of 470 months would be the same even without the four-level increase for sadistic images and other depictions of violence" cured any procedural error; and 2) even if defendant was ignorant of a hidden camera, the tape recorded on the camera was ample evidence defendant enticed the minor victim to produce child pornography.
