The following excerpt is from United States v. Fountain, 20-3212-cr (2nd Cir. 2021):
[1] While we have noted that the guidelines governing child pornography offenses "can lead to unreasonable sentences that are inconsistent with . . . 3553" "unless applied with great care," United States v. Jenkins, 854 F.3d 181, 188 (2d Cir. 2017) (citation omitted), we have held that these concerns are "inapplicable" where, as here, "the defendant was involved in the production of child pornography and had direct contact with child victims," United States v. Muzio, 966 F.3d 61, 65 (2d Cir. 2020).
