## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- concluding that because the victim’s “self-masturbation constitutes ‘sex- ual contact,’ . . . the district court did not err in imposing a § 2G2.1(b)(2)(A) enhancement in calculating [defendant]’s sentence upon his conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. § 2251 (a)”

## Opinion text

TARNOW, District Judge,
concurring.
I agree with Judge Moore’s opinion, and I write in concurrence to emphasize the importance of legislative history.
