United Stated v. Warren

Warren pled guilty to transporting and possessing child pornography and was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and 15 years’ supervised release. During his prison term, Warren tutored inmates, started a Sex Addicts Anonymous group, and became involved in “Life Connections,” a Christian residential‐reentry preparation program. Warren successfully requested relocation of his supervision. His Madison, Wisconsin probation office petitioned the court to modify Warren’s conditions of supervised release to match the office’s standard language and to add conditions that the office generally requests in “sex offender” cases, including: a travel condition, a no‐contact‐with‐minors condition, and a polygraph condition. Warren’s appointed counsel filed a brief, unsuccessfully objecting to the proposed changes. Warren’s treatment provider had not requested polygraph testing. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting arguments that the travel condition was vague, that the no-contact condition was overbroad and not justified by the facts of the case, and that the polygraph condition would be appropriate only if requested by the treatment office and directed to treatment.
