Text: 19 After careful consideration of the wording of § 2422(b) and U.S.S.G. §§ 4B1.1 and 4B1.2, and having considered the jurisprudence of our sister circuits as well as the legislative history of § 2422(b), we agree with the district court's conclusion that § 2422(b) constitutes a crime of violence for career offender classification purposes. Although it is not one of the listed offenses, persuasion, inducement, enticement or coercion of a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity carries an inherent risk of physical injury to the minor. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's classification of Searcy as a career offender pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. 20 AFFIRMED.
