Order for Amended Judgment

The Ninth Circuit remanded this case to me to modify special conditions 6, 7, and 9 of the Judgment. ECF No. 84. The parties subsequently agreed on language for special conditions 6 and 7, but could not reach an agreement on special condition 9. ECF Nos. 89, 90. I will revise special conditions 6, 7, and 9 as follows:

Special Condition 6: You must not view or possess any visual depiction as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2256(5) or any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image, or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical or other means, of sexually explicit conduct as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2) involving children, or actual sexually explicit conduct as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2257(h)(1) involving adults that would compromise your sex offense specific treatment. These restrictions do not apply to materials necessary to and used for any future appeals, or materials prepared or used for the purpose of sex offender treatment.

Special Condition 7: You must not have direct contact with any child you know or reasonably should know to be under the age of 18, not including your own children, without the permission of the probation officer. If you do have any direct contact with any child you know or reasonably should know to be under the age of 18, not including your own children, without the permission of the probation officer, you must report this contact to the probation officer within 24 hours. Direct contact includes written communication, in-person communication, or physical contact. Direct contact does not include incidental contact during ordinary daily activities in public places.

Special Condition 9: You must not go to, or remain at, any place primarily used by children under the age of 18, unless you have the express prior permission of your probation officer. Examples of such prohibited places include parks, schools, playgrounds, and childcare facilities.

These conditions are justified by the following facts: Johnston admitted he has a "sickness" involving child pornography. PSR ¶ 14. He live-streamed videos of prepubescent girls and recorded them as they undressed and performed sexual acts. Id. ¶ 15. When he was 31 years old, Johnston located a victim near a school, followed her for blocks, and exposed himself to her while masturbating. Id., ¶ 40. These restrictions are necessary to protect the public and deter Johnston from committing crimes in the future, and they involve no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary. I will enter an amended judgment reflecting these revised special conditions.
