View this case - free  

Overview: Under Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.011, there could be assent in fact but no legally valid consent and the element of force was absent, thus, it was error to apply a 16-level crime of violence sentence enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A) based on defendant's prior conviction under Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.011(a)(1).

Overview: Defendant's sentence for illegal reentry was improperly enhanced based on a prior conviction for attempted aggravated sexual battery under Kan. Stat.
