United States v. Aumais

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that 121-month 3 sentence for transporting and possessing child pornography was substantively reasonable
• finding that, because Dr. Silberg's interviews with Amy preceded the defendant's arrest, Dr. Silberg could not testify to \the impact on Amy caused by this defendant \
• concluding proximate cause was lacking because victim had no direct contact with defendant or knew of defendant’s existence and no evidence linked defendant’s possession to loss suffered by victim
• holding defendant did not proximately cause “Amy’s” loss because he was not a “substantial cause” of her harm
• observing that the “Guidelines range . . . was well short of the statutory maximum” in upholding substantive reasonableness of sentence
• finding no proximate cause when evidence showed defendant was one of many who viewed victim’s images, but victim “‘had no direct contact with [the defendant] nor even knew of his existence’”
