No. 07-10183 D.C. Docket No. 06-00009-CR-WS
United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit
(January 31, 2008)
Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Alabama
Before MARCUS and PRYOR, Circuit Judges, and
HANCOCK ", District Judge.
s. Honorable James Hughes Hancock, United
States District Judge for the Northern District
of Alabatta, sitting by designation.
MARCUS, Circuit Judge:
This appeal tests the nature and extent of
appellate review over sentencing under the new
regime of advisory Sentencing Guidelines. After
thorough review, we are constrained to conclude that
even under the most recent Supreme Court precedent,
affording substantial deference to the district court's
sentencing determinations, the district court abused its
discretion by imposing a probationary sentence on the
defendant in this case.
Here, the government appealed from the
non-custodial sentence of defendant Bruce Clayton
Pugh ("Pugh"), who downloaded on his computer
over a period of several years at least 68 images of
child pornography, as well as videos of an adult male
raping an infant girl and of a young girl performing
oral sex on an adult male. The advisory Sentencing
Guidelines range recommended for the offense to
which Pugh pled guilty-knowing possession of images
of child pornography that were mailed, shipped or
transported by computer in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§
2252A(a)(5)(BI and 2256(8)(A)-was 97 to 120
months' imprisonment. The district court nevertheless
sentenced Pugh to a five-year probationary term. In so
doing, the district court relied heavily on Pugh's
history, characteristics and motive in imposing a
non-custodial sentence for a crime that fell on the high
end of the Guidelines sentencing table. But in our
view, the district court did not provide a sufficiently
compelling justification to support the degree of its
variance, nor did it give any apparent weight to many
other important statutory factors embodied by
Congress in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) that must be
considered at sentencing. As we see it, this
probationary sentence utterly failed to adequately
promote general deterrence, reflect the seriousness of
Pugh's offense, show respect for the law, or address in
any way the relevant Guidelines policy statements and
directives. Accordingly, we hold that this sentence is
unreasonable, and therefore vacate and remand so that
the district court can re-calculate the defendant's
sentence.
I.
The presentence report ("PSI") presented the
following basic facts. During an investigation
conducted in Oklahoma in May 2003, the FBI learned
that Warren Paul Perkins, III, had emailed child
pornography images to the America OnLine ("AOL")
screen name "moonkiss." The FBI traced that screen
name to Joyce Pugh, the defendant's sister and
housemate, and obtained a warrant to search the
computer systems and other related computer
components owned by the Pughs. During a search of
the Pugh home in Selma, Alabama in September 2003,
a police detective observed several images of nude
pubescent children in provocative poses in Pugh's
computer files.
When interviewed on the day of the search by an
FBI agent, Pugh said
he downloaded child
pornography images but then deleted them. Pugh
added that he may have forwarded child pornography
to the "list me" areas in chat rooms. Pugh told the FBI
that he entered chat rooms on the Internet pretending
to be an underaged female and that people would then
email him child pornography images. He also
admitted that he once saw an image on his computer of
a man having sex with a two- or three-year old who
had a dog collar around her neck.

Page 2 F.3d ----, 2008 WL 253040 (C.A.11 (Ala.)) (Cite as: — F.3d —) computer by the FBI revealed some 70 images of child pornography, including a horrifying video of an infant girl being raped by an adult male, a video of a young girl performing oral sex on an adult male, and an image of male and female children engaged in sex acts with an adult male. There were ten known child victims-young boys and girls whose identities have been established by the government-in the images found on the defendant's computer. The FBI interviewed Pugh again in March 2005. At this time, Pugh told the investigators that he went to the chat rooms pretending to be an underaged girl using the screen name "sknowgirl." Some users would send Pugh child pornography thinking he was a young girl. When erotica pictures came to him from other users, Pugh would separate them, save them, and send them to other users under the pretense that he was the subject of the pictures. According to Pugh, men were always trying to pick him up over the Internet, and he justified his pretense by thinking that he was keeping the men away from "real children." He said that everyone in the chat rooms sent him child pornography images, even though he asked them for adult pornography. Pugh explained that he actively sought adult "bondage" and "scat" pornography, Rd not the child pornography that others sent him, and that he never looked for child pornography on the Internet. Pugh offered that he did not want the pictures, which did not arouse him; rather, he only wanted to talk. However, he knew that his pretense would in fact cause people to send him child pornography. I. In Pugh's case, the "scat" images on his computer depicted women defecating in each other's mouths. In a January 2006 indictment, Pugh was charged by a federal grand jury sitting in the Southern District of Alabama with receipt and distribution of images of child pornography by computer in violation of .11 U.S.C. § 2252A(aX2) and (b)(11 (count one); possession of images of child pornography that had been mailed, shipped or transported by computer in violation of 18 U.S.C. 4* 2252A(a)(5)(B1 and 2256(8)(A) (count two); and receipt of obscene matter by interactive computer service in violation of la U.S.C. k 1462 (count three). In March 2006, Pugh pled guilty to the possession count embodied in Count Two, pursuant to a written plea agreement. As part of the plea agreement, Pugh admitted to "knowingly possess[ing) a computer( ] and compact disc which contained more than 3 images of child pornography ..." in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A4113WBI. Pugh further admitted that a forensic examination of his computer revealed that he had approximately 68 images and two videos of child pornography, which had been downloaded from the intemet using AOL. These images included the following: yungcumpusjpg: a video of a female infant with an adult male penis penetrating the infant's vagina. The adult male has ejaculated and semen is on the surface of the infant's labia. xxxjob.mpeg: a video of a child approximately 12 years of age performing oral sex on an adult male. ( I ).jpg: phot[o] of a boy and girl both of whom are approximately 8 years of age and the girl has the penis of an adult male in her mouth. Pugh also admitted to connecting to the intemet using AOL, visiting chat rooms pretending to be an underaged child, and viewing the child pornography sent to him by others in the chat rooms. Using the 2002 Guidelines Manual, as supplemented on April 30, 2003, the probation officer determined Pugh's base offense level to be 17 under U.S.S.G. 2G2.2. The offense level then was enhanced 2 levels under U.S.S.G. 4 2O2.2(b)(1) because the material involved prepubescent minors or minors under age 12; 5 levels under U.S.S.G. 262.2(b112)(B1 because the offense involved distribution for the receipt of child pornography but not for pecuniary gain; 4 levels under U.S.S.G. 262.2(1)161 because the material portrayed sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depictions of violence; 2 levels under U.S.S.G. 4 2G2.2(bW5) for use of a computer or interactive computer service; and 3 levels under U.S.S.G. 4 2G2.2(X 6) for more than 150 but fewer than 300 images. Subtracting 3 levels for acceptance of responsibility under V.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 Pugh's adjusted offense level was 30, and his criminal history category was level I. Thus, the advisory Sentencing Guidelines yielded a range of 97-120 months' imprisonment. 2. Pugh admitted possessing 68 still images plus 2 video clips, each of which counted as 75 images under clarifying amendment 664 C 2008 Thomson/West. No Claim to Orig. U.S. Govt. Works. EFTA00192125

of the 2004 Guidelines Manual (providing
that "[e]ach video, video-clip, movie or
similar recording shall be considered to have
75 images"), and U.S.S.G. 6 1B1.11(b)a)
(directing that "[t]he court shall use the
Guidelines Manual in effect on the date that
the defendant is sentenced").
At the sentencing hearing, the district court
adopted the PSI as published. Pugh's counsel then
called John Frank Warren, III, Ph.D., ("Warren") to
testify concerning Pugh's mental state and likelihood
of recidivism. Warren, a clinical and forensic
psychologist, testified that in his opinion, Pugh
presented a "low-risk" on a "low-moderate-high" risk
assessment scale, which measures an offender's risk of
re-offending, but recognized that "no one is a no risk."
Warren also opined that Pugh was not a pedophile,
and was not addicted to child pornography, but rather,
was addicted to adult pornography, an addiction that
developed as a result of an abusive home life. Warren
observed that in the late 1990s, Pugh had sought
mental health treatment for his pornography addiction,
but none of the therapists or the psychiatrist he met
with addressed his concerns, and eventually, he
stopped going.
Warren further suggested that Pugh would be
"easy pickings for more predatory or sociopathic
peers" in a prison setting and that a prison sentence
could lead Pugh to "more maladaptive coping and,
arguably, a higher risk status following additional
victimization." According to Warren, Pugh is
receiving treatment from a psychologist in Selma,
Alabama.
Warren acknowledged that he had viewed a video
from Pugh's computer in which an adult male raped an
infant female, and admitted that this experience would
have a "horrible impact" on the child victim. Warren
also explained that the impact on the children depicted
in the other pornographic images on Pugh's computer
was "very detrimental," and offered, "that's the reason
we have laws about child pornography." Finally, when
questioned by the district court, Warren testified he
had not diagnosed most defendants in the prior child
pornography cases he worked on as pedophiles-in fact,
he had diagnosed only two of about 45 or 50 as
pedophiles-which he said was consistent with the
literature. Warren added that in contrast to Pugh,
however, most defendants in child pornography cases
are diagnosed as having Internet child pornography
paraphilia.

Pugh then addressed the district court about the
charges. "43 Following counsel's arguments, the
district court concluded that it needed additional
information before sentencing Pugh, and set a second
sentencing hearing to take further testimony on these
issues. In December 2006, at Pugh's second
sentencing hearin
pecial Agents Fred Haynes
("Haynes") and
Glaser ("Glaser") testified
concerning their interviews with Pugh. Haynes
specifically testified that during the first interview he
conducted with the defendant in 2003, Pugh said that
he had downloaded child pornography and that there
were possibly hundreds of images on his computer.
Pugh said that he did not actively seek the child
pornography and never searched for it on the Internet
but that he had seen it. He explained that it was sent to
him while he was pretending to be an underaged
person in chat rooms, which he claimed he did
because "he felt like ... [by doing so] he was keeping
the child predators away from the children." Notably,
Pugh "admit[tedj" to Haynes "that he had forwarded
child pornography to others on his list in the chat
rooms." During a second interview in 2005, Haynes
and Glaser showed Pugh images retrieved from his
computer. Pugh said that when he first started
receiving child pornography images, he reported the
senders to AOL. Haynes and Glaser asked Pugh why
he did not stop soliciting the child pornography and
Pugh responded that he was "addicted to it." 44"

involving
Pugh's
great-niece.
The FBI was contacted by Patricia Smith
("Smith"), another sister of Pugh's, who told them that
she had been driving home from church with one of
her daughters and her granddaughter. While in the car,
her granddaughter had told her, "Mee Maw, know
what? Uncle Bruce told me that he licked the hair off a
girl." Ms. Smith asked the girl to repeat herself, and
she said, "Uncle Bruce said he licked the hair off a
girl's crotch, and she licked his off."
Warren testified that he was skeptical of the story
involving Pugh's great-niece. He said that in his
experience working with and evaluating children of
abuse, children "misinterpret a lot of things" and
"incorporate something they've seen in a movie versus
something they saw mommy do versus something
they heard about at school. It comes out as a narrative
that very often doesn't match what actually occurs."
Warren concluded, "I discounted [this information]
and found it relatively fantastic." Pugh also testified
