Before Higginbotham, Smith, and Higginson, Circuit Judges. Patrick E. Higginbotham, Circuit Judge: Chad Michael Rider was convicted of three counts of producing or attempting to produce child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a) and was sentenced to 720 monthsâ imprisonment. He now appeals the juryâs verdict and raises five issues on appeal. We AFFIRM. I. A. In 2019 and 2020, law enforcement learned that two IP addresses associated with the Denison Church of the Nazarene and its pastor, David Pettigrew, uploaded images of child pornography online. After acquiring search warrants for Denison Church and Pettigrewâs home, oficers found a Maxtor hard drive in Pettigrewâs ofice at the church. The hard drive contained âdozens and dozens of videosâ that âcaptured children, in various stages of undress, taking baths in the church ofices.â The footage also captured Pettigrew and another man âsetting up cameras before the children came in, escorting them in, instructing them how to bathe in front of the cameras so the cameras would capture them, and then taking the cameras down.â The church treasurer identied the second man as Appellant Chad Michael Rider.[1] Two weeks later, oficers executed a search warrant at Riderâs residence. After locating Rider, Detective Joseph Adcock and Agent Bruce Donnet escorted Rider to a police car to speak with him. Rider was read his Miranda rights and admitted to placing cameras at Pettigrewâs request on two occasions. Rider claimed he felt âforcedâ to set up the cameras because Pettigrew had obtained nude photos of Riderâs wife, Pettigrew âwas [his] pastor,â and because Rider âbelieved there was nothing maliciousânothing sexual about it.â Throughout the conversation, Rider maintained that he did not know Pettigrew intended to lm the children naked and believed the equipment captured only audio. Rider was arrested later that day. The police later discovered additional videos on the Maxtor hard drive that were lmed at different locations. These included the so-called âNeighbor Videosâ and âHome Bathroom Videos.â The Neighbor Videos were lmed at Riderâs neighborâs house and consisted of three consecutive recordings of Riderâs teenage neighbor (âVictim 1âł) using the restroom. The footage captured Victim 1 âentering her private home bathroom and looking at herself in the mirror; standing up from the toilet while nude from the waist down; and washing her hands prior to leaving the bathroom.â[2] The video included footage of Victim 1â˛s genitals. The Home Bathroom Videos were lmed in Riderâs home, took place over several days, and captured a different minor (âVictim 2âł). Victim 2 was friends with Riderâs children, and Rider was Victim 2â˛s legal guardian when he lmed her. The Home Bathroom Videos captured Victim 2 on multiple occasions as she âundresses, examines her body, enters the shower, exits the shower, uses a towel to dry off all of her body, and dresses.â Rider was indicted on three counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 2251 (a) and (e), which prohibit the sexual exploitation of minors, or attempted exploitation of children, to produce child pornography.[3] Section 2251(a) provides that: Any person who employs, uses, persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any minor to engage in, or who has a minor assist any other person to engage in, or who transports any minor in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, with the intent that such minor engage in, any sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct or for the purpose of transmitting a live visual depiction of such conduct, shall be punished as provided under subsection (e) . . .[4] â[S]exually explicit conductâ includes the âlascivious exhibition of the anus, genitals, or pubic area of any person,â[5] which the Fifth Circuit denes as âa depiction which displays or brings forth to view in order to attract notice to the genitals or pubic area of children, in order to excite lustfulness or sexual stimulation in the viewer.â[6] All three counts were based on footage discovered on the Maxtor hard drive. Count One accused Rider and Pettigrew of conspiring or attempting to conspire to employ youth at the Denison Church to engage in sexually explicit activity for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct. Counts Two and Three related to the Neighbor Videos and the Home Bathroom Videos, respectively, and alleged that Rider âdid and did attempt toâ use Victims 1 and 2 to produce child pornography. Counts Two and Three read: Between [the specied dates] in the Eastern District of Texas, Chad Michael Rider, defendant, did and did attempt to employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, and coerce any minor to engage in any sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct, and [1] such visual depiction was transported and transmitted using any means and facility of interstate and foreign commerce and in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce; [2] that such visual depiction was produced using materials that had been mailed, shipped, and transported in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce by any means, including by computer; and that [3] the defendant knew and had reason to know that the visual depiction would be transported and transmitted using any means and facility of interstate and foreign commerce and in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce. Specically, the defendant, Chad Michael Rider, did employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, and coerce Victim [1 or 2], a minor known to the Grand Jury, and did attempt to employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, and coerce Victim [1 or 2], to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct, using a concealed recording device and the internet.[7] B. 1. Before trial, Rider moved to suppress his conversation with Detective Adcock and Agent Donnet on the basis that his statements were involuntary. He argued that the oficers violated his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination by failing to secure the voluntary waiver of his Miranda rights and by disregarding his request for counsel. Rider also claimed the oficers violated his due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment because Donnet ârepeatedly preyed upon [Rider's] substantial faithâ to coerce Rider into confessing. After holding a hearing, the magistrate judge recommended rejecting Riderâs Fifth Amendment claim because he was not in a âcustodial interrogation.â Alternatively, the magistrate judge found that Rider received his Miranda warnings, implicitly waived his rights by voluntarily speaking with the oficers, and did not invoke his right to counsel. The district court overruled Riderâs objections and accepted the magistrate judgeâs report and recommendations on the day of the trial. 2. Rider sought to use Dr. Kristi Compton, a licensed psychologist, as an expert witness at trial. Dr. Compton had conducted a âpedophilia assessmentâ and planned to provide her expert opinion that Rider âshows no signs of pedophiliaâ and âthat [Rider's] personality leads him to be compliant and conict avoidant, possibly to the point of being in denial about otherâs intentions.â The Government moved to exclude Dr. Comptonâs testimony. After holding a pretrial conference, the district court excluded Dr. Comptonâs testimony pursuant to Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 403, and 702.[8] The district court found the testimony irrelevant because whether âRider has the characteristics of a pedophile or a particularly compliant personality that may have motivated him to act is simply not relevant to any element of § 2251 that the Government must prove.â The court further determined that, even if Dr. Comptonâs testimony had some probative value, that value was substantially outweighed by the risk that âthe jury may give the testimony undue consideration simply because it comes from an expert.â Finally, to the extent that Dr. Compton would testify âsolely on Riderâs capacity and character to form the requisite intent,â the court found the jury could determine this information without need for expert testimony. 3. The Government introduced, inter alia, the following evidence at trial: (1) the âChurch Videosâ taken of children at Denison Church; (2) the Neighbor Videos; (3) the Home Bathroom Videos; (4) testimony by the children depicted in the Church Videos, the Neighbor Videos, and the Home Bathroom videos; and (5) receipts and records from Amazon.com showing that Rider and Pettigrew purchased thousands of dollars of hidden cameras and had them shipped to various addresses, including Riderâs home and rental properties. Rider took the stand, testied in his defense, and advanced two defenses relevant here. First, he testied to his belief that Pettigrew merely wanted to create funny, candid moments for a video montage. Second, Rider claimed he was pressured into helping Pettigrew either because of Pettigrewâs role as his pastor or because Pettigrew had nude photos of Riderâs wife. 4. The jurors were instructed that they could convict Rider of violating or attempting to violate 18 U.S.C. § 2251.[9] Relevant on appeal, the jury charge for Counts Two and Three read: For you to nd the Defendant guilty of this crime, you must be convinced that the Government has proved each of the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt: First: That the Defendant did or did attempt to employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, or coerce a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct; Second: That the Defendant acted for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct; and Third: That the visual depiction was produced using materials that had been mailed, shipped, and transported in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce by any means, including by computer. The jury charge for attempting to commit Counts Two and Three read: The Government can prove Count [Two or Three] by showing beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant did or did âattemptâ to commit the offense. It is a crime for anyone to attempt to commit a violation of certain specied laws of the United States. For you to nd the Defendant guilty of attempting to commit the sexual exploitation of children a/k/a child pornography, you must be convinced that the Government has proved each of the following beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) That the Defendant intended exploitation of children a/k/a pornography; and to commit the sexual production of child (2) That the Defendant did an act that constitutes a substantial step towards the commission of that crime and that strongly corroborates the Defendantâs criminal intent and amounts to more than mere preparation. The jury issued a general verdict convicting Rider on all three counts.[10] The verdict form did not reect whether Rider was convicted on Counts Two and Three for the completed or inchoate offense. 5. The Presentence Report (âPSRâ) recommended a sentencing range of 324â360 months.[11] After considering the factors provided in 18 U.S.C. § 3353, the district court found that an upward variance was warranted and sentenced Rider to 720 monthsâ imprisonment. In explaining its sentence, the district court noted that the âfacts of this case [were] uniquely disturbingâ because Rider âused his position of a trusted adult and a church leader to gain unfettered access to the children and church properties for the purpose of producing child pornography,â and he had âpreyed on children in the community that necessarily didnât attend [church] with their families.â The court further explained that Rider took âextraordinary stepsâ to effectuate his plan, including spending large amounts of money on cameras, creating an alias, shipping the cameras to multiple addresses, and devising âmultiple church events which would cause certain children to get wet or dirty, necessitating them having to change clothes.â Moreover, Rider had âtested the cameras and adjusted them before and after the events in order to obtain the most optimal angles to record the children naked.â The court concluded the Sentencing Guidelines did not account for these factors, Riderâs âcomplete lackâ of remorse, or the fact that he shared the footage with Pettigrew. Finally, the district court agreed with the â[G]overnment that ordering the counts to be served concurrently would deprive the victims of justice for the specic crimes committed against them.â 6. Rider raises ve issues on appeal. First, he argues the district court erred by denying the motion to suppress his conversation with Detective Adcock and Agent Donnet. Second, he asserts that Dr. Comptonâs testimony was relevant and should not have been excluded. Third, Rider claims there was insuficient evidence to support his convictions on Counts Two and Three. Fourth, he asserts that the jury charges on Counts Two and Three constructively amended the indictment and allowed the jury to convict on a factual basis not alleged in the indictment. Finally, Rider argues that his sentence was unreasonable. III. A. Rider argues that Detective Adcock and Agent Donnet violated his Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights and that the district court erred by not excluding any inculpatory statements made to the oficers. Specically, Rider claims his statements were involuntary and that the oficers manipulated him into believing he could reunite with his family if he cooperated. He also contends Donnet violated his due process rights by referencing their shared Christian faith, which exploited the âhuman need to discloseâ oneâs âawed acts or thoughts.â âWhere a district court has denied a motion to suppress evidence, we review its factual ndings for clear error and its conclusions of law de novo.â[12] Factual ndings are clearly erroneous only if a review of the record leaves this Court with a denite and rm conviction that a mistake has been committed.[13] This Court must âuphold the district courtâs ruling if there is any reasonable view of the evidence to support it.â[14] 1. The Fifth Amendment forbids law enforcement from using statements, âwhether exculpatory or inculpatory, stemming from custodial interrogation of the defendant unless it demonstrates the use of procedural safeguards effective to secure the privilege against self-incrimination.â[15] In Miranda, the Supreme Court held that law enforcement oficials âmust inform a suspect in custody of his right to remain silent, that any statement he makes may be used as evidence against him, and that he has a right to retained or appointed counsel.â[16] Thus, the threshold question is whether a suspect was âin custody,â[17] an issue that Rider did not address in his appellate brieng. Even if Rider did not abandon this argument on appeal by failing to contest this point, his arguments regarding the waiver of his rights are relevant only if he was in custody. Because we agree with the district court that Rider was not âin custodyâ when he made the inculpatory statements, we do reach the waiver of those rights. A suspect is âin custodyâ when they are ââplaced under formal arrest or when a reasonable person in the suspectâs position would have understood the situation to constitute a restraint on freedom of movement of the degree which the law associates with formal arrest.ââ[18] In Riderâs case, âthere is no indication that the questioning took place in a context where respondentâs freedom to depart was restricted in any way.â[19] Although the conversation lasted for over one and a half hours, Rider was interviewed in an unlocked police car and his counsel admitted at oral argument that Rider was free to leave the police vehicle. Furthermore, Rider was made comfortable and kept âin view of his family membersâ throughout the conversation. The magistrate judge described the interaction as âconversationalâ and, at one point and without objection from Adcock or Donnet, Rider opened the car door and asked oficers to be careful about searching his truck so as not to scratch the hitch. Under these facts, we see no error in the district courtâs determination that a reasonable person âwould not have understood the situation to constitute a restraint on freedom of movement equivalent to formal arrest.â[20] Therefore, Rider was not âin custodyâ and the district court correctly determined there was no violation of his Fifth Amendment rights.[21] 2. Nor was Rider subject to the type of coercion prohibited by the Fourteenth Amendment. As set out in Chavez v. Martinez, the Fourteenth Amendment protects a suspectâs right to be free from coercive questioning and prohibits â[c]onvictions based on evidence obtained by methods that are âso brutal and so offensive to human dignityâ that they âshoc[k] the conscienceâ [and] violate the Due Process Clause.â[22] To violate the Due Process Clause, law enforcement must use a âsubstantial element of coerciveâ conduct that is âintended to injure in some way unjustiable by any government interest.â[23] This demanding standard applies to âpolice torture or other abuse.â[24] Although Rider was interviewed in a police vehicle, the car was not locked and was kept at a comfortable temperature. His counsel admitted he could exit the vehicle at any time. Riderâs health and safety was not threatened, nor was he verbally threatened.[25] To the contrary, the record indicates the interaction remained âconversational.â Even if Rider is correct that Donnet âmanipulated [Rider's] faith to suggest forgiveness from God if [Rider] confessed,â the Supreme Court has held that appeals to the conscience do not constitute coercive police tactics.[26] Simply put, Rider can point to no behavior that violates the âdecencies of civilized conductâ[27] and meets Chavezâs high standard.[28] The district court did not err in denying Riderâs motion to suppress on this basis. B. The district court excluded Dr. Comptonâs testimony pursuant to Federal Rules of Evidence 401, 403, and 702.[29] Rider contends that this was error. We disagree and uphold the district courtâs exclusion under Rule 403. Evidentiary rulings are reviewed for an abuse of discretion, subject to harmless-error analysis.[30] Determinations under Rule 403 are given ââan especially high level of deferenceââ and reversal is âcalled for only ârarelyâ and only when there has been âa clear abuse of discretion,ââ[31] i.e., a complete disregard of the controlling law.[32] Rule 403 permits the court to âexclude relevant evidence if its probative value is substantially outweighedâ by a danger of confusing the issues or misleading the jury.[33] Here, the district court believed Dr. Comptonâs testimony âpresent[ed] a risk that the jury may give the testimony undue consideration simply because it [came] from an expertâ and that this risk outweighed its âlimitedâ probative value. Although Rider argues the court erred by âreason[ing] from the general to the specic,â he has not shown how this error âamounts to a complete disregard of the controlling law.â[34] To the contrary, this circuit has previously afirmed decisions to exclude expert testimony regarding a defendantâs sexuality in child pornography cases.[35] Rider makes no attempt to explain why his case is different. Therefore, we nd that the district court did not abuse its discretion by excluding the testimony pursuant to Rule 403. Because we nd that the district court did not err on this basis, we need not address Riderâs arguments regarding Rules 401 and 702. C. Rider next argues that there was insuficient evidence to support Counts Two and Three of the indictment. The indictment on Counts Two and Three set out two theories of criminal behavior: rst, that Rider sexually exploited Victims 1 and 2, and second, that he attempted to exploit Victims 1 and 2. The jury were instructed on both the completed and inchoate offense and returned a general verdict nding Rider guilty.[36] As to the completed offense, the parties now dispute whether Riderâs videos portrayed a âlascivious display of the genitals.â[37] As to the inchoate offense, Rider admits âthe attempt charge is the hardest for him,â but argues there was insuficient evidence of attempt because âthe cameras were set up so that they would be unlikely to focus on the female-sexual organ or pubic area.â âIn determining whether there was suficient evidence to sustain [the] convictions, we must decide, viewing the evidence and the inferences [] in the light most favorable to the verdict, whether a rational juror could have found [the defendant] guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.â[38] âThe evidence need not exclude every reasonable hypothesis of innocence or be wholly inconsistent with every conclusion except that of guilt, and the jury is free to choose among reasonable constructions of the evidence.â[39] Because of the general verdict, we cannot determine whether the jury convicted on the completed offense theory, the attempt theory, or both. Regardless, when cases are submitted on two alternative, legally valid theories, this Court must afirm if either theory is supported by suficient evidence.[40] The Court nds that suficient evidence supports Riderâs conviction for attempting to produce child pornography. It is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(e) to attempt to employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, or coerce any minor to engage in any sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct.[41] Attempts require proof of two elements: ârst, that the defendant acted with the kind of culpability otherwise required for the commission of the underlying substantive offense, and, second, that the defendant had engaged in conduct which constitutes a substantial step toward commission of the crime.â[42] Thus, the conviction may be upheld so long as suficient evidence indicates Rider acted with specic intent to lm Victims 1 and 2 engaging in sexually explicit conduct and took a substantial step towards doing do. There is ample evidence that Rider had the intent and took the necessary steps towards accomplishing his aim. A rational jury could have gleaned Riderâs intent from his extensive planning and efforts to hide his behavior. For example, Rider spent thousands of dollars purchasing recording equipment and specically selected discreet cameras. He bought cameras disguised as household items, such as a clock, a pen, and hooks,[43] and then placed these cameras in locations where their presence would seem innocuous. Furthermore, he selected locations where his victims would expect privacy and, for various reasons, were sure to expose their genitals. Rider positioned and angled his cameras to capture his victimsâ pubic areas. The camera used in the Neighbor Videos was angled to capture Victim 1â˛s midsection and recorded her urinating and standing in her underwear. Rider likewise placed cameras to capture Victim 2â˛s pubic area, including one camera inside the bath directly above the knob to turn on the water, i.e., at a height designed to capture her breasts and pubic area. Finally, there is evidence that Rider made a concerted effort to record Victim 2 in particular. Victim 2 testied that Rider would frequently âstop[] herâ before she went into the bathroom so that could âx something real quick or make it up for me.â Footage later recorded Rider turning on the cameras before Victim 2 entered the bathroom. When she asked Rider about the âickering lightâ she noticed, he told her âit was nothing to worry about, that they had always been there.â Nevertheless, Rider contends that he did not attempt to lm explicit content. He claims such an attempt would have required the âcameras [] to be placed differently,â such as âplaced facing a person who sat on the commodeâ or âset up to take a âzoomedâ in image of someone getting into or out of the shower.â Rider essentially argues that had he intended to lm explicit material, he would have placed his cameras differently and tried harder to zoom in on his victimsâ genitals. This argument is unpersuasive and ignores the fact that his cameras were angled and positioned to capture his victimsâ genitals. Additionally, criminal attempts take a myriad of forms, and this Court will not hamstring § 2251(e) when defendants fail to perfectly execute their plans. As the Eighth Circuit noted in United States v. Johnson, â[a] defendantâs success in attaining his criminal objective is not necessary for an attempt conviction.â[44] Taking the evidence in the light most favorable to the Government, Rider expended signicant funds to acquire discreet recording equipment and set up these devices in areas where Victims 1 and 2 were guaranteed to display their public areas. Given the expectation of privacy that accompanies bathrooms and showers, a rational juror could have found that Rider hoped and intended to capture a lascivious display of the victimsâ genitals. A jury could use the same evidence to conclude that Rider took substantial steps to record this explicit footage. In short, substantial evidence supports the jury verdict. D. Rider asks this Court to overturn his conviction on the basis that the jury charge constructively amended the rst superseding indictment. The indictment for Counts Two and Three listed the elements of the offense and alleged that Rider engaged in the prohibited conduct âusing a concealed recording device and the internet.â The jury charge likewise enumerated the elements of the offense but did not include language regarding a âconcealed recording device and the internet.â Rider claims that this omission constitutes reversible error. We review constructive amendment claims de novo and convictions must be overturned if a constructive amendment has occurred.[45] Because Rider raises this argument for the rst time on appeal, it is reviewed for plain error.[46] âA constructive amendment occurs . . . when the Government is allowed to prove an essential element of the crime on an alternative basis permitted by the statute but not charged in the indictment.â[47] Phrased differently, constructive amendments occur when the government âconvict[s] the defendant on a materially different theory or set of facts than that with which she was charged.â[48] We nd no constructive amendment occurred. Although the language regarding a âconcealed recording device and the internetâ was omitted from the jury charge, the Government introduced plenty of evidence that Rider purchased and used concealed recording devicesâincluding hidden camera alarm clocks, cameras disguised as hooks, a âsuper small hidden spy camera,â pens with cameras, camera adapters, and camera smoke detectorsâto lm his victims. Thus, the Government provided evidence that Rider used âa concealed recording device.â The Government also offered evidence that Rider purchased these cameras through Amazon.com and that they were shipped âin and affectingâ interstate commerce, satisfying the indictmentâs language regarding use of the internet. Accordingly, âthe government did not maintain two alternative theoriesâonly one of which was chargedâand urge the jury to convict upon either of them. Rather, the government presented a single, consistent theory of conviction throughout.â[49] Because the evidence presented and relied upon for conviction was that alleged in the indictment, there was no constructive amendment. E. Finally, Rider claims that his 720-month sentence is substantively unreasonable. We disagree. This Court generally reviews a sentence for unreasonableness but decisions to depart from the Guideline range and the extent of the departure are reviewed for an abuse of discretion.[50] Rider argues that the district court âfailed to account for Pettigrewâs control of this production schemeâ and Riderâs diminished culpability given that he âhad less responsibilityâ than Pettigrew at the church. Rider asserts that Pettigrewâs sentence âshould have been a benchmarkâ and âthere is no basis for [Rider] to have a sentence double that of Pettigrew.â Rider essentially asked the district court to ignore his conduct and transfer responsibility wholly onto Pettigrew. The district courtâs refusal to do so did not constitute an abuse of discretion. When considering Riderâs sentence, the district court adopted the PSRâs factual ndings and guideline applications and then looked to the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) to determine whether the sentence should deviate from the advisory range.[51] After considering these factors, the district court determined âan upward variance [was] warrantedâ because of the âuniquely disturbingâ facts of the case and its belief that the âguidelines do not account for . . . the level of depravity exhibited by the defendant in this case.â The district court justied its upward variance because of Riderâs âcomplete lack of remorseâ or acceptance of responsibility, position as church leader, predation upon vulnerable children, and the âextraordinaryâ steps taken to conceal his conduct. To âprotect the community and . . . provide adequate punishmentâ the district court imposed the maximum punishment. These considerations directly responded to Riderâs belief that he was not culpable in the âproduction scheme.â Indeed, at sentencing, the district court highlighted Riderâs behavior and explained exactly why it found Rider culpable. The district court explained that Rider held a âposition of a trusted adult and church leaderâ and described how he used this position to âgain unfettered access to the children and church properties,â orchestrated church events designed to get children dirty, and âencouraged the children to disrobe and then bathe in the room.â The district court observed how Rider âmade the children feel safe by ensuring that the doors were locked for their privacy and comfortâ and then abused their trust by âsecretly lming them naked.â The district court further referenced Riderâs comments regarding âbus kids,â[52] found that Rider preyed âupon children who didnât necessarily have [] parental supervision,â and âsometimes singled out certain children for special events during which he would then record them naked at the church.â Not only did Rider exhibit âextreme conductâ but he âtook extraordinary stepsâ to cover his behavior. In sum, we agree with the Government that âthe district court made clear that it considered Riderâs argument that he was less culpable than Pettigrew and rejected it.â And given the district courtâs thorough reasoning on this point, we cannot say that the district court erred in doing so. Rider is incorrect that this sentence is unreasonable in light of Pettigrewâs sentence because Pettigrew does not provide an appropriate benchmark. While 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(6) encourages district courts to consider âthe need to avoid unwarranted sentence disparities among defendants with similar records who have been found guilty of similar conductâ in imposing sentences, district courts need not avoid sentencing disparities between co-defendants who are not similarly situated.[53] Here, Pettigrew pled guilty to a single offense whereas Rider was convicted by a jury of three counts; Riderâs additional offenses involved two additional victims, âdifferent locations,â âdifferent dates,â and âdifferent . . . kind[s] of secret lming.â[54] Rider and Pettigrew are not similarly situated and the difference between their sentences is permissible. The district court properly calculated the applicable guidelines range and articulated legitimate reasons for an upward departure. The district courtâs explanation and ndings in support of that departure demonstrate that the sentence is substantively reasonable. IV. In conclusion, the district court did not err by denying Riderâs motion to suppress nor by excluding Dr. Comptonâs testimony. We conclude that the jury charge did not constructively amend the rst superseding indictment and the jury verdicts were supported by suficient evidence. Finally, Riderâs sentence is not substantively unreasonable. We therefore AFFIRM.
