United States v. Miller, No. 13-822 (2d Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed his conviction for one count of aiding and abetting the removal of a child from the United States with the intent to obstruct the lawful exercise of parental rights, in violation of the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act, 18 U.S.C. 1204, 2. The court held that venue for the prosecution of defendant properly lay in the District of Vermont, his place of arrest, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3238. The court held that conduct comprising the crime of removal of a child from the United States in violation of the Act occurred in its essence outside the United States such that section 3238 provides a basis for laying venue in the district of arrest. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
