United States Ninth Circuit

In appeal of sentence for illegal reentry, where the district court concluded that the defendant's 2008 conviction for third-degree rape qualified as a "forcible sex offense" supporting a 16-level crime-of-violence enhancement under the Sentencing Guidelines, judgment is affirmed, where the district court did not err in concluding that the prior conviction was a crime of violence.
