United States Eighth Circuit

Defendant's conviction and sentence for attempted receipt of child pornography are affirmed where: 1) defendant's undisputed belief that his victim was a minor satisfied the "knowingly" requirement of the statute; 2) the district court did not commit plain error in determining that the factual basis for defendant's guilty plea was adequate; and 3) the district court correctly applied U.S.S.G. section 2G2.2(c)(1) to Bauer's conduct.
