United States v. Reibel, No. 11-3416 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseReibel sexually molested his girlfriend’s three-year-old daughter and took pornographic photos of her. He pleaded guilty to two counts of producing child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2251(a) and received concurrent prison sentences of 360 months, the bottom of the Guidelines range but also the statutory maximum. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting an argument that the sentence unreasonably punished him as severely as the worst child pornographers and was based on mere speculation about sex offenders and their victims rather than on evidence.
