United States v. Greaux-Gomez, No. 19-2065 (1st Cir. 2022)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's conviction of enticement of a fifteen-year-old minor for unlawful sexual activity, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2422(b), and transportation of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2423(a), holding that there was no error.
On appeal, Defendant asserted numerous challenges to the criminal judgment related to the district court's evidentiary rulings and argued that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) there was no error in the district court's denial of Defendant's motion to suppress; (2) a defendant can be found to persuade, entice, or induce a victim in violation of section 2422 despite purported evidence that the victim agreed to engage in sexual activity; and (3) Defendant's remaining claims failed.
