District court’s imposition of an enhancement under U.S.S.G. section 2G2.2(b)(3)(B) on a defendant convicted of transportation and possession of child pornography is affirmed where, although defendant did not have an explicit agreement or precise bargain with the woman, the content of his conversations lead to the conclusion that he reasonably anticipated or believed that his exchange of child pornography would result in a sexual encounter with the woman and her children.
