A 1970s-era Texas law that allows parents to show “harmful material” to their children has come under fire after a prosecutor said he couldn’t file charges against a man accused of forcing his 8- and 9-year-old daughters to watch hardcore online pornography.

Texas Law Challenged After Man Allegedly Forces Daughters to Watch 'Hardcore Porn' October 30, 2009 DALLAS — A 1970s-era Texas law that allows parents to show "harmful material" to their children has come under fire after a prosecutor said he couldn't file charges against a man accused of forcing his 8- and 9-year-old daughters to watch hardcore online pornography. Randall County District Attorney James Farren has asked the Texas attorney general's office to review his decision not to pursue charges in the case, which has prompted at least one lawmaker to vow to change the state's public indecency law. "Our...

A Dallas mother wants to change an obscure Texas law that allows parents to show their young children hardcore pornography. Crystal Buckner claims her ex-husband made their two little girls watch graphic sex videos, but Buckner says the law protects him from being prosecuted.

Carrie Prejean demanded more than a million dollars during her settlement negotiations with Miss California USA Pageant officials -- that is, until the lawyer for the Pageant showed Carrie an XXX home video of her handiwork. The video the lawyer showed Carrie is extremely graphic and has never been released publicly. We know that, because TMZ obtained the video months ago but decided not to post it because it was so racy. Let's just say, Carrie has a promising solo career. We're told it took about 15 seconds for Carrie to jettison her demand and essentially walk away with nothing....

Kevin Jennings surely must have known that the publisher of his first three books, Alyson Publications, published pro-pedophilia and pornographic works. He said he was "sought out" by Alyson. In the Acknowledgements of his first book, Becoming Visible (1994), he wrote: Writing this part of the book has caused me more anxiety than any other. It simply is not possible to express my gratitude to the many people who have helped make this book possible ... With apologies to anyone omitted, here we go! The obvious place to begin is with Alyson Publications. First, Sasha Alyson had the vision to...

The locally based AIDS Healthcare and Pink Cross foundations have organized a boycott of Marriott hotels over porn. The protest is not about the Mormon-founded chain's in-room, X-rated offerings. No, that's just fine. The problem, according to the groups, is the hotel company's palette of on-demand smut that features actors who do not use condoms. "Marriott is certainly not alone among major hotel chains that promote and profit off the sale of unsafe, condom-less adult films to their hotel guests," AIDS Healthcare Foundation president Michael Weinstein states. "However, we want to highlight the brazen hypocrisy--the Mormon Marriott's moral masquerade--of such...

Biblical Sex Row Over Explicit Illustrated Book of Genesis A sexually explicit illustrated Book of Genesis by controversial artist Robert Crumb, which features Bible characters having intercourse, has been condemned by religious groups.

GF woman accused of showing porn from window, assaulting cop By: Archie Ingersoll, Grand Forks Herald A Grand Forks woman is accused of broadcasting pornography from the window of her home Friday morning, allowing the images and noises to be seen and heard from Lake Agassiz Elementary School. When police Cpl.

Why We Are Going to Hell – Part 5,291 The Abomination in the Temple bythelastcrusade.org A Canadian Roman Catholic bishop has been charged with the distribution and selling of child pornography after a random search of his laptop at the Ottawa airport, a police source confirmed to the press. His Eminence Raymond Lahey, 69, was returning to Canada from the United States when Canadian Border Services Agency officials found images on his computer. Bishop Lahey resigned from governing the diocese of Antigonish, Nova Scotia last weekend. In his letter to his flock, the Bishop said that he needed time...

That's One Hell Of A Shot, Serena! Tennis Champ Courts Attention With A Nude Magazine Cover By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 06th October 2009 Serena Williams certainly served up a surprise on the cover of America's ESPN magazine. The tennis champion peeled off her usual sportswear to appear completely naked on the cover of the publication's 'Body Issue'. The 28-year-old looks a picture of confidence while wearing nothing but a smile, her modesty saved only by some very strategic posing.

When a talk-show guy like me gets a call from a stripper complaining about guys surfing porn, you know you’ve got a problem. In this case, the stripper was Victoria - former stripper, actually - who spent 10 years dancing at New England’s finest “gentlemen’s clubs.” She was miffed after hearing about rampant on-the-clock porn surfing at the National Science Foundation. The Washington Times broke the story - so many government workers were conducting (ahem) “free-lance research on human reproduction” on taxpayer time that the Inspector General’s Office was swamped. They had to pull people from their real jobs -...

Newt Gingrich knows from stimulus. American Solutions for Winning the Future, Gingrich's D.C.-based PAC, has named a porn purveyor its "Entrepreneur of the Year" for 2009, according to representatives of the pornographer. Allison Vivas heads up Pink Visual, a DVD production and distribution company based in Van Nuys, Ca., that specializes in adult films. Vivas' PR representative, Brian S. Gross, is circulating a letter dated Wednesday ostensibly from Joe Gaylord, a consultant working for Gingrich, telling her "Newt's Business Defense and Advisory Council" had agreed that she was deserving of the honor in "recognition of the risks you take to...

Foreign porn companies refile suit against Korean netizens By Kim Eun-jung SEOUL, Sept. 11 (Yonhap) -- A group of U.S. and Japanese porn companies will refile a lawsuit from next week against South Korean uploaders, their legal representative here said Friday, accusing the country of holding a double standard in investigating copyright violations of local and foreign material. Some 50 foreign firms sued 10,000 Korean Internet users in July for uploading their adult materials onto local Web sites, but prosecutors limited their investigation to those confirmed to have uploaded content more than three times. Only 10 were punished. The porn...

Film maker Mia Engberg explains the genesis of Dirty Diaries, a movie made up of 12 'feminist porn' shorts that has been generating heated debate across Sweden in the lead-up to its premiere this week. A few years ago I was asked if I wanted to make a short film on a mobile phone. The result was Come Together, a film in which a number of women point the camera at their faces while masturbating. The film was put onto the internet and provoked a strong reaction. A lot of the reactions were negative, with comments like: "Damn, they're ugly....

'Feminist porn' movie Dirty Diaries, which received 350,000 kronor ($59,000) in public funding, is to premiere this Thursday in Stockholm. The collection of 12 short pornographic films, all shot on mobile phones, is the brainchild of feminist documentary filmmaker, Mia Engberg. All of the filmmakers are either female or identify as female (one of the filmmakers was born male), and the films are underpinned by the 10-point manifesto (See movie website) of the Dirty Diaries project (intriguingly, point 4 is missing). The project received 350,000 kronor in production support from the Swedish Film Institute, which has attracted criticism from some...

Ida Riedel Palmer, 23, was left disappointed when what was advertised as a free "body jam" dance CD with her breakfast cereal directed her to a hardcore porn website. "I chose the brand of cereal because of the free CD. I was at first disappointed but then worried that maybe I had a virus on my computer. I called my boyfriend to check if he had been using my computer, but he told me he hadn't," Ida Riedel Palmer told The Local on Wednesday. The young woman from Umeå in northern Sweden bought the packet of Nestlé Fitness cereal at...

Much ado about CCTV tower's naked truth 2009-08-22 09:24 You are unlikely to have missed the new CCTV headquarters if you are a Beijing resident or have visited the city recently. But has the structure appeared to you as male and female genitals? Well, that's what the building's Dutch architect Rem Koolhas seems to think, or at least his magazine-style book, Content, tries to portray, architecture scholar Xiao Mo says in an article posted on the Internet. The new CCTV tower's design has raised a controversy with an architecture scholar alleging that a book suggests it represents male and female...

Kansas Attorney General Steve Six is being criticized for not pursuing a lawsuit that was filed against a state law that deals with adult-oriented businesses. The lawsuit was filed by a chain of adult-oriented businesses against a law that regulates billboard advertising in small Kansas towns. "So, the attorney general basically just immediately dropped the case," notes Phillip Cosby of the Kansas City office of the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families. "It didn't even go to trial, and he did not even present any evidence that was given to the legislature about negative secondary effects." He...

Foreign porn producers sue SKorean Internet users Posted on - Thu Aug 13, 2009 2:35AM EDT SEOUL (AFP) - Foreign pornography producers are suing South Korean Internet users for breach of copyright by uploading their content onto local websites, police said Thursday. In an unusual case, a local law firm representing 50 US and Japanese porn producers has filed suit against about 10,000 heavy uploaders.

Many industries have been hit hard by the recession, none more than the porn industry. But why? The lesson in that is something our President should be paying attention to. The recession in the country is becoming a Depression in the porn industry. Some horror stories were included in an article in the LA Times: For (Savannah) Stern, 23, the rapid decline of job opportunities in the porn business over the last year has been dramatic. She has gone from working four or five days a week to one and now has employers pressuring her to do male-female sex scenes...

On a recent Saturday night, Savannah Stern earned $300 to hang out for seven hours at a party in Santa Monica wearing nothing but a feather boa. The veteran of more than 350 hard-core pornography productions took the job to earn extra cash and to network. But the word at the 35th anniversary party for Hustler magazine was not heartening, especially among the roughly 75 other women working there. From the archives: See No Evil Stage musical on L.A. porn industry is... "At least five girls I haven't seen in a while came up to me and said, 'Savannah, are...

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has once again come under fire for issuing grants that help fund pornographic and obscene “art”. The NEA was given $80 million from the federal government’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill to give as grants to a number of organizations it deemed worthy of financial support. But true to form the NEA has shown itself incapable of distinguishing between art and garbage. Consider the following grants the NEA awarded, according to Fox News, using the $80 million it received courtesy of our tax dollars: • $50,000 to Framline, a “gay and lesbian” film...

The National Endowment for the Arts may be spending some of the money it received from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act to fund nude simulated-sex dances, Saturday night "pervert" revues and the airing of pornographic horror films at art houses in San Francisco. ... [S]ome of the NEA's grants are spicing up more than the economy. A few of their more risque choices have some taxpayer advocates hot under the collar, including a $50,000 infusion for the Frameline film house, which recently screened Thundercrack, "the world's only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and...

(English-language translation) Miami - The mayor of the western coastal city of Fort Myers, Florida fired city Administrator Scott Janke once it became known that the latter married a porn actress last year, The Miami Herald reported today. Mayor Larry Kiker convened a hasty meeting with council members at City Hall on Tuesday evening once it became known that Janke had married a porn actress in October.

The newspaper indicated that the Adult Industry News website recently reported that Janke's wife, Anabela Mota Janke, used the screen name Jazella...

Bruns was the second Washington journalist to be sentenced for possession of child pornography in less than a week. Former National Public Radio science editor David Malakoff, also facing six to eight years, was spared prison time partially because U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle said he had been raped as a 9-year-old in Rock Creek Park. Malakoff got five years of probation, a $5,000 fine and 600 hours of community service, and is required to register as a sex offender for 25 years. Bruns was not so lucky.

Block, 40, tearfully told U.S. District Judge Henry Hudspeth that his problems stem from...

They hate us for our freedom. This is an outrage! Of course, it happened in Canada, not the U.S. But with the Obama administration importing all Canuckleheaded ideas lately, surely the days when it is safe for you to peaceably drive your car while watching porn are numbered.

On society's list of most shameful professions, the pornographer would be near the top. What must pornographers think of themselves? They would argue that their industry has joined the mainstream, yet for porn performers, it's a sordid career fraught with perils of drugs, disease and, in the darker corners of porn, exploitation and abuse. Take the case of a true pervert, Paul Little, who calls himself "Max Hardcore." The British author Martin Amis submerged himself in the sleaziest subcultures of sex on film for the British newspaper The Guardian a few years ago. He recalled the making of Little's "Hollywood...

"This movie has been cut to get an R rating," Dr. Baehr said, "but...

PHOENIXVILLE, Pa. — Police in suburban Philadelphia say a man weary of children playing in his cul-de-sac blared a pornographic soundtrack to chase them off.

Pornography is no longer a poison creeping into the crevices of our popular culture. It is part of the very fabric. One sensation at a recent Apple conference for new and developing applications in San Francisco was the "iPorn bikini girls" advertising free X-rated films for your iPhone. It sounds like a whole new reason to fear people using their mobile phones while they drive. Free porn sites are all over the Internet now, with zero restrictions or minimal electronic barriers against curious children who might be in for a very crude shock within seconds, just with the still photos...

Newly released FBI files show agents across the country and at the highest level of the agency investigated "Deep Throat" -- the 1972 porn movie, not the shadowy Watergate figure -- in a vain attempt to roll back what became a cultural shift toward more permissive entertainment. The documents released show the expanse of agents' investigation into the film: seizing copies of the movie, having negatives analyzed in labs and interviewing everyone from actors and producers to messengers who delivered reels to theaters.

A hardcore pornographic movie was accidentally screened at PS 17 in Brooklyn, N.Y., school officials said. Students from five classes at the school had assembled to watch "Camp Rock," a Disney Channel movie starring the Jonas Brothers, but after a teacher powered up the DVD player and walked away to get the Disney movie, a skin flick began to play, the New York Post reported Sunday. The students, some as young as 5-years-old, were exposed to 45-seconds of sex acts in the incident late last month, the newspaper said. "My son told his friend he saw a naked lady at...

Debbie does grade school. An auditorium full of unsuspecting Brooklyn students -- some as young as 5 years old -- got a surprise lesson in reading, writing and raunchiness on May 29 when hard-core porn was accidentally screened at PS 17 in Williamsburg. The kindergartners, first-graders and fifth-graders were exposed to a topless woman and sex acts in the 45 seconds the obscene clip played on the jumbo screen -- as shocked teachers screamed, "Don't look at it!" and frantically tried to turn it off. Finally, one horrified teacher ripped the DVD player's plug out of the wall to silence...

Health officials in Los Angeles said Friday that 22 actors in adult sex movies had contracted H.I.V. since 2004, when a previous outbreak led to efforts to protect pornography industry employees. The officials accused an industry-supported health clinic of failing to cooperate with state investigations and of failing to protect not only industry workers but their sexual partners as well. “We have an industry that is exposing workers to life-threatening diseases as part of their employment,” said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, director of public health for Los Angeles County. “That is outrageous and anachronistic. These infections are virtually entirely preventable.” The...

L.A. County health officials say at least 16 performers have been infected in addition to one reported this week. That brings the number of HIV cases in porn performers to 22 in the last five years.

The newly released data bring the number of HIV cases in porn performers in the...

Jackie Kennedy's half-brother, who has long lived a quiet existence in a sleepy Oregon suburb, was busted for harboring a sickening kiddie-porn habit, authorities said yesterday. James Auchincloss, 62, whose mother, Janet Bouvier, was also mom to Jackie O, saw his Ashland home searched after local detectives were tipped off. The search turned up booklets and slides of naked 7- to 16-year-old boys in sex poses -- some taken at Auchincloss' home -- according to a police affidavit for a warrant. Investigators believe Auchincloss may have committed felonies by "encouraging child sexual abuse," according to the Ashland Daily Tidings newspaper.

Porn films are no longer a career-killer Dylan Vox has bridged the gap between adult films and mainstream fare Dylan Vox bares his fangs in his new mainstream psychological thriller, "The Lair." The actor is making the slow but steady move from adult films to more mainstream fare. By Alonso Duralde Film critic May 21, 2009 Appearances by porn performers in mainstream movies usually fall into one of three categories: one-shots (like “Behind the Green Door” star Marilyn Chambers, who starred in David Cronenberg’s “Rabid” before returning almost exclusively to adult fare), stunt-casting (for instance, porn veteran Nina Hartley’s turn...
