Definitions of Inducument I) U.S. I Murrell, 3681. 3d 1283, 1287 (II" Cir. 2004). In a charge of violation §2422(b), the term "induce means to stimulate the occurrence of "or to" cause the minor the engage in sexual activity." 2) Harms' U.S., 272 12d 478 (4" Cir. 1959). In a charge of violating what is now §2422(a) (whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual to travel in interstate commerce... to engage in prostitution... shall be fined, etc."), the Fourth Circuit ed that a single telephone call invitation to a former prostitute, asking him to return to to resume her prostitution, was sufficient. -The fact that the prostitute has previously expressed her desire to return to or that she paid her own fare, was immaterial. -"An affirmative directive act [like buying a ticket or doing the transporting) is not involved. The inducement in and of itself, without consideration of intent and with no further direct act, is the moving cause of what follows. The inducement may be any offer sufficient to cause the woman to respond. The inducement sets in motion the successive acts that constitute the crime. (p. 481) 3) U.S.1 Reed, 96 1. 2d 785(2d Cir. 1938). Evidence was sufficient to find that defendant induced woman to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution, even though woman claimed she had always wanted to go to Ncw York and she paid her own way. 4) LaPage 1 U.S., 146 1 2d 536 (8" Cir. 1945). Evidence that defendant called victim, who was one of his regular prostitutes who was away (out of state) on vacation, and asked her to return because another prostitute was leaving was sufficient to prove inducement to travel in interstate commerce for the purpose of prostitution. 5) Prdjun 1 U.S., 237 1 799 (6" Cir. 1916). Evidence was sufficient to convict defendant of enticing girl to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution even if there "is no evidence" that the girl knew of the purpose for which she was entice to go [from one state to the other)... if the defendant put the girl in question in such a frame of mind that she wanted to go and did go, if coupled with it was the purpose on the part of the defendant that the girl should engage in prostitution [when she got to destination), then that is an offense against the statute. 6) U.S. Thomas, 410 1 3d 1235 (10" Cir. 2005). Section 2422(b) requires only that the defendant inten to entice a minor, not that the defendant intend to commit that underlying sexual act. Entice = beguiling by arousing hope or desire; to lure. Induce = leading or moving by persuasion or influence; to prevail upon. Persuade = causing someone to do something by means of entreaty, argument, or reasoning; to convince.

Motive to Travel Cases 1) U.S.' Garcia-M234 F.3d 217 (51° Cir. 2000). Facts: Defendant took his 13-year-old stepdaughter to Mexico and obtained fake identification dots to allow her to travel. Defendant raped the girl twice in Mexico and was charged and convicted of violating 242304. Issue: Defendant argues that government must prove that his dominant motive for traveling was to engage in sex with a minor. Holding: The instruction that "it was sufficient for the government to prove that one of the defendant's motives in traveling las to engage in a sexual act with a minor "was sufficient". 2) U.S.' I1oschouer, 2007 WL979931 (11th Cir. Apr. 3, 2007). Facts: Defendant began a sexual relationship with his daughter when she was 13. In March 2003, the victim gave birth to defendant's son. Defendant continued to have sex with her. In Sept. 2003, defendant was arrested in Texas. Victim wrote a bad check to get defendant out on bond and they fled. Victim asked to stay behind, but defendant refused. Defendant was arrested while they were driving through Georgia when defendant was arrested for shoplifting. Victim testified that they were on their way to North Carolina where defendant was looking for work. Victim also testified that she believed that, if they stayed in Georgia long enough, she and defendant would have had sex. Defendant was charged with violating 2423(a) and 2432(b). Issue: Defendant raised the issue of "the purpose" instruction and the sufficiency of the evidence. Holding: (1) The jury was properly instructed that the government does not have to show that engaging in criminal sexual activity with a minor was defendant's only purpose or even his primary purpose, but it must have been tins of the motives or purposes of the travel. In other words, the government must show that the defendant's criminal purpose was not merely incidental to the travel. (2) Based upon the length of the sexual relationship and defendant's refusal to leave victim behind, the jury could reasonably infer that defendant intended to have sex with victim before the conclusion of their trip and that one of the motivating purposes of requiring victim to accompany him was to facilitate their sexual relationship. 3) U.S. I Reiner, 397 I Supp. 2d 101 (D. Me. 2005). This case discusses the forfeiture of assets related to a "massage parlor"/ "health club" that was a front for prostitution. The Court wrote: "The fact that a few customers were content to have only a massage does not alter the overall purpose of the operation." 4) U.S.' Hitt, 473 3d 146 (5" Cir. 2006). Co-defendants Hitt and Causey met AV, a 13-yr-old boy and befriendeI him. In October 2002, they took AV to dinner and touched his buttocks. Some time later, the defendants invited AV to a football game in Louisiana (across state lines). AV was to share a room with another boy, but, due to a "mix up" was made to share a room with Hitt and Causey. AV was sexually assaulted by the defendants that night and the sexual activity continued for about a year. The defendants were charged with violating 2423(h), 2423(a), and 2422(a). Issue: The defendants challenged the sufficiency of the evidence. Holding: The government must prove that engaging in sexual activity was "one of the efficient Case No. 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-011956 EFTA00226744

Motive to Travel Cases - Page 2 and compelling purposes of the travel." Evidence related to the "grooming process" was relevant to whether the defendants had the illicit intent necessary under 2423(b). 5) U.S.' Scisum, 32' 3d 1479 (10th Cir. 1994). For a violation of 2423(a), the government must prove that the defendant had formed the intent to have the victim engage in prostitution before the defendant transported or moved a person in interstate commerce. The government does not have to prove that prostitution was the sole purpose of the transportation. Case No. 08-80736-CV-MARRA P-011957 EFTA00226745

Third-Party Liability 1) U.S. Pisman, 443 13d 912 (70 Cir. 2006). Pisman and Wilkerson were involved in asexual relationship and planned for Pisman to travel from Iowa to Illinois to meet Wilkerson and others to engage in sex. Wilkerson arranged for the other sex partners - some of whom were minors - via the Internet. Pisman was aware that some were minors. Charges: Ct. I- Conspiracy to travel interstate to have sex with minors 18 USC §§ 2423(b) & (c). Ct. 2 - Substantive charge of 2423(b) Ct. 3 - Use of interstate commerce to entice a minor 2422(b) Issue: The government urged a theory of co-conspirator liability as the basis of Pisman's guilty on the substantive offenses. Pisman was acquitted of Count I and convicted of Count 3. Holding: These are merely inconsistent verdicts, which is not grounds for a motion for judgement of acquittal. 2) U.S. I Strewth 185 Fed. Appx. 841 (11th Cir. 2006): Telephone calls to Costa Rica Taboo Vacations to arrange trip to Costa Rica to meet with underage prostitutes is sufficient to prove violations of 2423(c), 1591(a), and 2422(b). 3) U.S. I Bolen, 136 Fed. Appx. 325 (11° Cir. 2005). Defendant challenged §2422(b)'s applicability w crc defendant did not communicate directly with victim-child but only communicated (via Internet and phone) with parent of purported child. "We held that §2422(b) encompasses conduct where a defendant arranges to have sex with a minor through communications with an adult intermediary, including an adult law enforcement agent posing as a parent of a minor child."
