United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's child pornography sentence is affirmed where: 1) the district court never said it presumed the Guidelines to be reasonable, and its decision to vary downward belied defendant's suggestion to the contrary; and 2) the district court was not required to vary downward further because some of defendant's images of child pornography depicted decade-old conduct or because at least one of his victims is now an adult.
