Because § 3283 employs the same “offense-involving” language as the statutes analyzed in those cases, compare 18 U.S.C. § 3283 with id. § 3287; 26 U.S.C. § 6531, a similar interpretation should govern.

The Court should apply a categorical approach and hold that § 3283 did not modify the statute of limitations for § 2423(a) violations.\n\nNothing in the text of § 3283 indicates a contrary result. Indeed, Congress has shown that when it wants to tether a statute of limitations to conduct occurring in a particular case, it knows how to do so—and uses unambiguous wording distinct from § 3283.
