Thomas P. Griesa in United States v. Gilliam, 11 Cr. 1032 (TPG), aff'd, 842 F.3d 801, 805 (2d Cir. 2016). See also United States v. Lowe, 145 F.3d 45, 52 (1st Cir. 1998) (\"Consent is a defense to kidnapping but not to a Mann Act charge.\"); United States v. Jones, 808 F.2d 561, 565-66 (7th Cir. 1986); United States v. Pelton, 578 F.2d 701, 712 (8th Cir. 1978); Gebardi v. United States, 287 U.S. 112, 117-18 (1932).\nCommented [CE43]: The defense objects to this instruction. It is not found in Sand. Moreover, it confuses the issue of consent. To be sure, consent is not a defense to engaging in sexual activity with an individual who is under the age of consent in the relevant jurisdiction. But that point is already addressed in the instruction on New York Penal Law, Section 130.55 in Count Two. And the defense expects that there will be testimony of alleged sexual acts that took place after Jane Doe-1 and other alleged victims were above the relevant age of consent.\nCommented [RA(44R43]: GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The defense objection confuses consent to engage in sexual activity, which is addressed elsewhere, with consent to being transported. Consent to the transportation is not a defense under the Mann Act. Absent an instruction like this, the jury may be confused that a Minor Victim who travels willingly has consented to her transportation and has not been transported.\nDOJ-OGR-00006095",
