Sentencing
Supervised release; revocation
Where the defendant violated three conditions of his supervised release, the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing new conditions.
“Musso’s original offense involved possessing ‘graphic visual depictions . . . show[ing] an actual child engaged in a sex act.’ More importantly, we have already determined that Musso committed three violations of an original special condition of the release, one of which involved having prohibited contact with a minor. Based on these facts, the judge did not abuse his discretion in imposing new special conditions aimed at preventing contact offenses.”
Affirmed.
