    @caroline-NL "Are - at the moment - any sexshop dealers or customers arrested, because they sold/bought the early TT movies ?" I haven't heard anything in that regard. That said, I never heard about past customers getting prosecuted for Tove material until recently. And I never heard of Kelly Hoose getting prosecuted for Alsscans images until recently, which is telling. Normally, when the government's position is that 8 eighth grade girls were sexually molested and images of that crime were availble on a commercial website that Hoose accessed, they hold a press conference. Normally, when the government's case turns out to be four years of conspired fraud, the mainstream media runs with it for weeks. But the Hoose case barely made ...

    For the above queries regarding record keeping. The U.S. law is found in Title 28 part 75 of the Code of Federal [ invalid url ] to address Internet porn. As Shagdog noted, the 6th Circuit recently struck down the existing 2257 regulations. The last time the DOJ was handed an adverse decision on 2257 litigation, they simply went to Congress and asked for new laws, which became part of the Adam Walsh Act. With a new AG in the big chair it may be different this time.

    @caroline-NL &quot;Seventeen is NO player in the CC puzzle. They have not and they never had real connections with CC.&quot; Caroline, Seventeen (the internet version) is owned by IMCO and they <link> the Rodox.com site. They are a licensee with CC, which is why they were a party in the <link> case in 1998, it's all on the first page. And they do administer the VEF. They are not connected historically, but since at least 1996 on the Internet.

    @Laurie Cameron Fan I removed the direct link and left the url. The site is owned and administered by IMCO (Seventeen) in the Netherlands, another player in the CC puzzle. So my feeling is they have ultimate responsibility over the site. But I understand your concerns. @caroline-NL Don't know if it was FBI or not. The U.S. has several departments and components that investigate cp, in addition to the task forces and state law enforcement. The feds thrive on numbers, so little fish are more important to them from a resource, legislative and fear-mongering perspective.

    @caroline-NL Got a rough English translation of the colorclimax-dvd site, and am surprised that CC allowed this history lesson, or maybe they don't know. Also wondering why there are two Austrian hosted sites selling the same color climax DVDs. It's interesting that after detailing CC's illegal business interests, they state: &quot;Among them, there is no illegal material, assures the Musketeer Media Ltd. All films are in terms of the participating performers and actors have been examined. The same is true especially for adventure and first title of the &quot;Teenage Best&quot; series.&quot; Which again begs the question, what was examined if CC says they have nothing to examine? Like you mentioned, a lot at stake if no one can connect the...

    @caroline-NL <link> Media says they have distribution rights thru EP Productions in Copenhagen, which is Ervin Petersen, who apparently has the DVD/Video rights from CC, and has his own site (registered) since 1996. Maybe Vicom was in the running and lost out, or had some other issues. It's all pretty confusing, which is ironic since CC was (minus the CP) engaging in a legal enterprise. Musketier's CC site (climaxmagazines) claims it is the official CC site, and proudly promotes Tove material, probably relying on Ervin Petersen for past records, which CC claims it does not have. Sounds like a good screenplay: Porn, International Intrigue, the Feds, Vintage Stars in flashback, conspiracies...

    @caroline-NL &quot;But you can look at the &quot;Hardcopy&quot; TV show I already mentioned. There they used the Thanner Scale and valueated the real age too low.&quot; Court files connected to government witnesses is what is needed. &quot;But WHICH Color Climax ? The company now is owned by German Beate Uhse Video, and they dont have the old files.&quot; I don't see where Beate Uhse bought CC. I'm told that CC split licensing rights (Mags,Internet,DVD/Video) among several companies and CC Copenhagen's Tom Johnson is the point man for any records. There was a post of an CC [ invalid url ] on another forum from the Feb. 1984 issue of Club magazine. The article describes CC as a well respected tax paying business with a reputation for quality...

    @caroline-NL &quot;That wasnt a problem, they controlled her birth certificate. This is really the easiest thing, to check the birth date.&quot; An update on that <link> discussing the prosecution of Tove images. Seems there was a legal request for Tove records, and Color Climax <link> that they had no records. If so, what are they telling Jacco and the other distributors who are at risk?

    @caroline-NL: &quot;I know of some cases where it failed miserably.&quot; If you can cite the cases, that would help. The problem is you have to be able to produce evidence to a judge that it failed. The government is producing case law where it's been accepted, and offering medical experts, usually those involved in child maltreatment. Even if the defense produces another doctor, it just becomes dueling experts for the jury to determine who's more credible. The foundation, Tanner Staging, is given a pass. &quot;Of course the companies have to inform the customer. And they dont do it, because of the media hysteria.&quot; What I meant was an adult porn site, let's say in the U.S., which contains all adults, 18 and over. They haven't been ch...

    Yes, they are in effect and have been since April 30, 2003. Here's a link to the <link> . It's section 504.

    @caroline-NL &quot;The Tanner Scale is used only in the USA and CANADA, and it ISNT reliable. 17 year old girls were classified as 13 or 14 year olds.&quot; Has to be backed up with proof, which is why the Kelly Hoose case linked above, and the other cases Melissa Bertsch was <link> in are so important. But there is virtually no info on the Internet about this, which allows the government to continue using it on one group of individuals--consumers. &quot;companies dont talk about it in the public, but only with scientists, police, authorities etc. involved in this.&quot; But what about the paying customers? In your opinion, what obligation does a company have when they are presented with info or evidence that an individual has been charged ...

    Tinaka wrote: &quot;At least it doesn't include simple possession.&quot; It does, what I copied is just what they charged Whorley with, the next section covers possession: (b) Additional Offenses. Any person who, in a circumstance described in subsection (d), knowingly possesses a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting, that (1) (A) depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; and (B) is obscene; or (2) (A) depicts an image that is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in graphic bestiality, sadistic or masochistic abuse, or sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex; and (B) lacks serious ...

    LCF said: &quot;Let me get it straight if someone says in a sworn testimony that he THINKS she was underage this transform that in truth?&quot; If that person is a government witness, especially 'expert' witnesses. They are viewed by a jury as being honest and trustworthy. What they usually do with annonymous images is use Tanner Staging, either by a lay person or a medical professional. Doj spelled it out <link> , starting at page 33. They cite to a number of court cases in support. So if they are vintage images, good luck. And if they are current images, good luck. U.S. passed a law last year making it illegal for the government to provide copies of the alleged images or the computer hard drive for [ invalid url ]. If there is meta data i...

    Shagdog: the vote was 7-2, but O'Connor and Thomas qualified their consent, so it's more like 5-4. Here's a <link> which breaks the opinion down. Whorley argued at the district court level that the statute was unconstitutional, but lost. He has appealed to the 4th Circuit, but I don't know what the arguements are. The only copy of the district court ruling I could find was on Lexis-Nexis, which is copyrighted. The cite is 386 Fed Supp. 2d 693.

    &quot;EDIT I read testimony and prosecutor response the first one thinks he was underage (thinks not knows for sure)and the second shows no evidence she was as such&quot; It was sworn testimony, and the prosecutor response indicates the prosecution was successful. I suppose the question is what evidence did they rely on. If Tove had been verified in Euro courts as over 18 in her productions, why is there no info on this in various adult forums, news articles, legal forums, etc.? Is there a way to confirm this? And what was used to verify her age? What the U.S. feds are doing may be &quot;nonsense&quot; but it's serious nonsense. If that chap was convicted of Tove images, then a precedent was set and anyone could be charged. One need only lo...

    After the Free Speech decision, Congress passed 18 USC 1466A, and called it Child Obscenity. Yet you are sentenced under the child porn statutes, with all the stigma attached, including possible lifetime supervision. II. 18 U.S.C. 1466A(a)(1) Section 1466A(a)(1) prohibits the production, distribution, receipt, or possession with intent to distribute of any type of visual depiction, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting, that depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct that is obscene. The elements of the offense are described below. The above is from an article in the <link> , (pdf) November 2006 issue, the last article, starting on page 49. It details the case against Whorley, charged in part with child obscene ...

    Since Caroline mentioned Tove Jensen, I'll post this here. Wondering if anyone can verify this <link> post which has court documents indicating Tove was underage in the loop &quot;Teenage Tricks.&quot; It appears the defendant was successfully prosecuted.
  • A & B video/flashing/exhibitionism 12/13/2005 1:15:21 PM
    I know A&B video is out of business, but did anyone buy their inventory, or was it forfeited to the IRS. Interested in where I could find some of their Flashing tapes, or a legit resource for amateur flashing product.
