Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio at Cincinnati

SUTTON, Chief Judge. Andrew Golobic worked as an agent for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One of his responsibilities was to monitor illegal immigrants and, if need be, to recommend detention or deportation. He used that authority, regrettably, to coerce immigrants to have sex with him. Golobic impeded investigations into his behavior by exchanging lenient supervision measures for other supervisees’ silence and by destroying evidence. A jury found him guilty of a wide range of federal crimes. The district court sentenced him to 144 months. We affirm.
