Ingram contends that the district court abused its discretion by revoking her
supervised release based on the finding that she indirectly contacted N.G., the
victim of the underlying offense. Specifically, she contends that there was no
evidence that she intended to contact N.G. when she left messages for N.G.’s
employer and posted a comment in response to a presentation N.G. posted online.
Ingram’s conduct supports an inference that the indirect contact was intentional,
rather than inadvertent or unknowing. See United States v. Bucher, 375 F.3d 929,
934 (9th Cir. 2004) (intent can be inferred from defendant’s conduct and
surrounding circumstances). Viewed in the light most favorable to the
government, the evidence was sufficient to support the district court’s finding that
Ingram violated the terms of her supervised release. See United States v. King, 608
F.3d 1122, 1129 (9th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its
discretion by revoking Ingram’s supervised release based on her indirect contact
with N.G. See United States v. Perez, 526 F.3d 543, 547 (9th Cir. 2008).
AFFIRMED.
