Whether 18 U.S.C. § 1591(c) creates a self-standing strict liability offense with regard to the age of the victim that removes the mens rea element in § 1591(a) so that the government does not have to charge or prove that the defendant either knew or had a reckless disregard for the fact that the victim was a minor and which precludes a defendant from introducing any evidence that the defendant had no knowledge that the victim was minor, that the defendant did not recklessly disregard the fact that the victim was a minor and that it was reasonable for the defendant to think that the victim was not a minor?
