1. “A “continuing offense” has been defined as a continuous, unlawful act or series of acts set in motion by a single impulse and operated by an unintermit-tent force. City of Baton Rouge v. Ross, 94-0695 (La. 4/28/95), 654 So.2d 1311 ; United States v. Brazell, 489 F.3d 666 (5th Cir.2007). A defendant’s continual willful failure to satisfy his child support debt constitutes a continuing offense. United States v. Edelkind, 525 F.3d 388 (5th Cir.2008), cert denied, 555 U.S. 908 , 129 S.Ct. 246 , 172 L.Ed.2d 186 (2008); Brazell, supra. A continuing offense, by its very nature, does not terminate until the date of the indictment or the voluntary termination of the illegal activity. Edelkind, supra; United States v. Alvarado-Santilano, 434 F.3d 794 (5th Cir. 2005).”
