Feds make another major obscenity bust

[mongo]

I mean, just because a judge in PA ruled that the obscenity laws are unconstitutional is no reason to slow them down, right?

DALLAS - Edward J. Wedelstedt, owner of Goalie Entertainment Holdings, Inc., a Colorado corporation, was indicted along with six other individuals, including his wife and his company, on Friday in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.

Of the 23-count indictment, 18 of those counts refer to interstate transportation of obscene material by common carrier; interstate transportation of obscene material for purpose of sale or distribution; engaging in the business of selling or transferring obscene matter; and aiding and abetting those three alleged acts. The specific videos named in the indictments are 1 In The Pink, 1 In The Stink 5 (Red Light District), American Bukkake 7 and 8 (JM Productions); Cumshots 4 (Anabolic Video), Gangbang Angels 11 (Elegant Angel Productions) and Tits and Ass 8 (Devil's Films).

The defendants are also charged with enterprise corruption under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute (18 USC §1962(c)) (RICO), which alleges that the defendants conspired with 53 named companies and others in "the interstate transportation" of obscene materials for the purpose of display, distribution and sale"; "the distribution of the income, proceeds and property" of the members of the "enterprise" in order to "hide the source and to benefit the defendants in the form of cash, cashier's checks, money orders, salaries, dividends and interest payments"; and also to acquire "real estate for the purposes of distributing obscene, video films, and of profiting from the unlawful operation of the enterprise."

For those who don't read legalese, that last part means the defendants allegedly bought video stores in order to sell adult video tapes/DVDs, and warehouses in which to store and from which to ship the tapes/DVDs.

Basically, the feds had a tax case against these guys that has been going on for years, that is going nowhere, so instead they bust them for obscenity.

Oooops, I forgot, Jeff "Bulldog" Gannon is a Christian Republican with a special White House pass, and thus free of moral and political error.
