United States v. Castro, 599 F.3d 1050 (9th Cir. Mar. 26, 2010) (California conviction for lewd acts with a child 14-15 years of age, under California Penal Code 288(c)(1), did not categorically constitute "statutory rape," and therefore did not qualify as a crime of violence for illegal re-entry sentencing purposes, since the term "lewd acts" includes acts not included in 18 U.S.C. 2243, defining "sexual act" for purposes of defining "statutory rape"), following Estrada-Espinosa v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 1147 (9th Cir. 2008).
