On September 1 the US filed a list of cases " the primary or sole conviction was for a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2421(a); or (2) the base offense level under the Sentencing Guidelines was calculated under 2G1.1(a)(2) and a Criminal History Category of I.” ", no analysis, noting that "after conferrals with the defense regarding a joint letter, defense counsel informed the Government that they would be unable to exchange their case list with the Government in advance of filing and would be submitting their list directly to the Court. Accordingly, the Government is providing its cases in this letter rather than in a joint letter." 5 page filing on Patreon here
