United States v. Bour, No. 15-1090 (7th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseBour and Natisha met on seven or eight occasions for Bour to molest Natisha’s younger daughter, “Jane,” then four to 18 months old. Bour sexually touched Jane, penetrated her mouth and genitals, and filmed at least two encounters with her. He also photographed the genitals of Natisha’s older daughter, then three to five years old. After an acquaintance informed the FBI that Bour was paying Natisha to molest the girls, Bour pleaded guilty to purchasing a child for the production of child pornography (18 U.S.C. 2251A(b)), three counts of producing child pornography (18 U.S.C. 2251(a)), and possessing child pornography (18 U.S.C. 2252(a)(4)). At his sentencing hearing, he unsuccessfully objected to the sentencing memorandum’s discussion of homemade videos, which show him masturbating as prejudicial, irrelevant, and not offense conduct. Bour was sentenced to life for purchasing a child for the production of pornography and to 1,020 consecutive months (85 years) on the remaining counts. The judge also imposed lifetime supervised-release conditions, and, 235 days after sentencing, ordered Bour to pay $75,000 in restitution. The Seventh Circuit affirmed the restitution order, the sentence, and supervised conditions.
