Oh Tampa, everything you do makes us laugh (at you). Apparently, a panel of jurors in a Tampa court was forced to watch “extreme hardcore porn” in court, while deliberating whether or not California pornographer, aptly named Max Hardcore (aka Paul F. Little), violated any criminal obscenity laws.
From Tampa Bay Online:
Today, U.S. District Judge Susan Bucklew decided federal prosecutors can show excerpts of the movies, rather than the DVDs in their entirety, as they put on their case. Defense lawyers for Max Hardcore, whose real name is Paul F. Little, argued that jurors need to see the entirety of the movies because the repetition of the acts is a necessary component.
“Over a period of time, the shock is blunted,” defense lawyer Jeffrey J. Douglas said. “That is part of the presentation. That is part of the DVD.”
Federal prosecutor Lisamarie Freitas argued that the defense is trying to “desensitize” jurors.
Defense attorneys decided they will show the jurors the remainder of each movie as part of its cross examination.
MaxWorld Entertainment, Litttle’s company that produced the questionable material, and Paul Little himself, face five counts of each of distributing obscene material online, and five counts for distributing it through the mail.
But wait. Internet porn is illegal? Well, not exactly. Really, they start to draw the line when having sex with “preteens” is involved. Here’s what the jurors saw:
As the DVD began, the jurors sat mostly stone faced. Two women blushed and smiled slightly. One woman sat wide-eyed.
The DVD progressed, and the smiles vanished. Hands often covered mouths. Men and women fidgeted in their seats.
Expressions turned to concern as women onscreen screamed in pain during some scenes.
In one scene, Little slaps a woman repeatedly, curses at her and urinates on her. She vomits.
“That’s OK,” Little says in the film. “You look better with puke on your face.”
As the rough sex continues, they discuss her fictional 12-year-old daughter. Little, playing the role of Max Hardcore, tells the woman he had sex with the “preteen.”
The scenes go on and on, with more “young girls” engaged in violent sex and puking. And it ends with the actress saying “Can we stop for a minute? Can we have a break?” The film cuts to the actress being interviewed, stating she didn’t do anything she didn’t want to do, and that she’d “love to work with [Little] again.”
To me it just sounds like weird-ass porn, not a kiddie-porn. If this trial were happening in Texas, or Alabama, I think the dude might get his own kind of screwing. But being that the jurors are from Tampa, I think we’ll have some guilty consciences giving him a free ride.
