Holding that a state statute making it unlawful for a person 18 or older to sexually touch a child or solicit a child to engage in a sex act (among other things) is inherently an aggravated felony for purposes of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b), which at that time defined “aggravated felony” as any crime of violence as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 16
Holding that a statute involving sexual contact with children under 14 involved a “serious potential risk of physical injury” under the catch-all provision of U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2, because “the risk of violence is implicit in the size, age and authority position of the adult in dealing with a child”
Holding statutory rape is a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2 notwithstanding “that the acts with the child were consensual and did not involve physicalviolence”
