    Another 2257 Inspection - Robert Hill Releasing

    CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Adult company Robert Hill Releasing Co. has confirmed that it has been visited today by the FBI on a 2257 investigation.

    Lynton, owner of Robert Hill Releasing, told AVN.com that the agents were interested in "five or six titles," mostly involving younger performers. Lynton said that agents are still at the company, copying indentification documents and other materials.

          Seems to be the pattern. Younger looking performers, primary producers. I'd be interested if they limit the search to the docs as detailed in the regs, or the whole building as in the last one.

              I actually think it will take quite some time to get around to the Internet producers... so far all their targets have been Video producers in the Porn Valley area...

                  Seems like we are seeing one of these every other day now. They said they will continue through December, but I doubt they will stop there.

                  Even though everyone has "passed" - I would not be suprsied at all if so charges are filed against people they've inspected. They will take the evidence, go to the courts, and then weeks (maybe months) later charges will be filed.

                      I think you are right. I think they are being told that they need convictions no matter what it takes. No matter how good your records are, there is always a chance for a minor clerical error. It gives them opportunity to build up a few of these cases and get the headline they are looking for near election time. "Government busts Illegal Child Porn Makers".

                      This government has proven they have little regard for law.

                          it also seems they all have video's in distribution not just the net.

                                      At least it appears they are looking for performers that are too young, and not trying to railroad the guys over record keeping. So far anyway.

                                          it is absolutely ridiculous if they are going after companies they know have shot girls they have some suspicion about being of legal age or in fact know of girls who have been shot when underage ........ because NOBODY in Porn Valley shoots an underage girl on purpose - from time to time a girl like Traci Lords shows up with great fake ID's - nobody was ever charged for shooting Traci Lords because there was no case to be made - the producers were duped.

                                          frightening if this is what they are up to - because if they have a few performers the feds have discovered were underage they will find a way i think this time to charge people and feed the media a scandal - that the LA porn industry has been shooting underage talent. What they will sell to the public is that what we do does in fact exploit children, even if it's accidental - gaining public support to shut the entire industry down. That the fact that underage girls slip by without anybody in the industry noticing shows that we are incapable of looking out for the welfare of those girls led into porn by promises of money and excitement.

                                          it is very possible that they have proof of underage performers that the industry doesn't know yet are underage - most producers don't inspect the ID's much - my guy Marco P on a few occassions has been suspicious of ID's and calls the agency to question them and alert them - Jim South does send out emails sometimes where he alerts producers that a model's ID's look suspicious.

                                                          as somebody above said - they'll gather the evidence now - and then go back and contruct a case.

                                                          i don't think they can charge somebody who shot an underage girl who presented ID's that are passably credible - but who knows - maybe they would and make the case that the agents, producers did not do their due diligence.

                                                          i dunno - i'm just thinking out loud. the fact that they are looking at specific titles with young talent in them really does seem to me that they know something . hell i wouldn't put it past this particular government that some underage girls were planted by them.
                                                          I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

"I believe they're picking out companies and they're going to be checking 2257. They indicated that they know more or less the top companies, that they know their paperwork is going to be more or less correct. I believe from what they're indicating that they believe, with some of the smaller companies, is where they're going to be finding problems."

In porn they have checked id's long before 2257. Maybe when the FSC gets a new head they will drive home adult porn is not child porn one has nothing to do with the other.

                                                                                                          why not have an 8000# that you can call, enter in the ID and it will read back the name and DOB from the DL records database. easy and simple to at least verify the person has a valid DL #

                                                                                                          maybe a web site that will display the photo as well would be even better

                                                                                                                              In fact 2257 was implemented to protect producers and the government from one another. A compliant producer can't be put on trial for a pediatrician to testify that some of his unknown models could be under 18. Likewise, it saves the government from wasting resources on wrongful trials.

                                                                                                                              The recent primary producer checks can mean only a good thing for this industry. How many times has the media implied that adult entertainment and CP go hand in hand? The results of this major FBI records check will be our silver bullet to these claims.

                                                                                                                                  I am looking at it from a realist point of view. FBI guy's are not a bunch of psycho bible thumper watch dog's, they are people just like you or me.

                                                                                                                                  I for one believe we are on the same page as the FBI. We do not want fucker's exploiting children. They are looking around, and I would bet they are looking for somthing particular at this point.

                                                                                                                                  If it is general type record inspection's then they are doing the paper work for the government which we know and they know will full fill whatever some dumb ass half baked commitee crying about morality thats the pay roll of some religous dipshits.
                                                                                                                                  If the FBI is actually doing thier job, then good.

                                                                                                                                  God knows they out to be stopping a shipment of Cocain comming in the country amoung far more pressing problems in our society. FBI knows it to, they are just doing thier job.
                                                                                                                                  if they are looking for something in particular, and this is the second or third report from a producer who has been inspected, that they are interested in specific titles. that means they know something - not just suspect something - the government has the resources to know everything they want to know about any citizen. These inspections are about record keeping - or should be. This is not supposed to be an investigation into hiring and filming underage girls - but it sounds like that is part of what is going on here.

                                                                                                                                  the government has made it clear they are waging a war against porn - the best thing that could happen for the government would be able to produce a bunch of underage girls who fell through the cracks. it would help them make the case that the porn industry harms minors - even if it really isn't our fault.

                                                                                                                                      there is no reason for 2257 - there is NO KIDDY PORN produced by our industry -
                                                                                                                                      they aren't protecting any child from anybody in our industry through 2257 because this industry does not and has no interest in producing kiddy porn. The kiddy porn producers exist in a network all over the world - and you won't find one of them on GFY or at Internext.

                                                                                                                                      this isn't about protecting kids - it's an attempt to get rid of the porn industry in another way other than by the obscenity laws - because the government loses every obscenity case it prosecutes.

You'd have to confirm this with someone who is familiar with the process, but I would imagine specific information must be included in the warrant... such as individual titles that are suspect. Could be one explanation.

You'd have to confirm this with someone who is familiar with the process, but I would imagine specific information must be included in the warrant... such as individual titles that are suspect. Could be one explanation.

They said they will continue through December, but I doubt they will stop there.

They will take the evidence, go to the courts, and then weeks (maybe months) later charges will be filed.

Just going through the hoops of asserting the absurdity may put many guys/gals under.

                                                                                                                                                                      As for judges, they focus on the letter of the law, and if the law states jail time for clerical, it probably won't be till Supreme Court appeals that the disproportionate penalty can be challenged and used in consideration of judgement (at least, based on all I've seen on TV )

                                                                                                                                                                                  The US government isn't afraid of anyone in this industry. You look at the people that went on trial, or even to jail, in the last go around over obscenity and mail order, and you'll see that it wasn't the nickel and dime guys they were trying to bust. Of course this was during Meese and you probably weren't out of diapers back then.

                                                                                                                                                                                  In more recent history, the FTC had no issue bringing it to one of the top 5 internet adult companies half a decade ago. And might be bringing it again to companies that are that size if rumors are more than rumors...

                                                                                                                                                                                          there is no reason for 2257 - there is NO KIDDY PORN produced by our industry -
                                                                                                                                                                                          they aren't protecting any child from anybody in our industry through 2257 because this industry does not and has no interest in producing kiddy porn. The kiddy porn producers exist in a network all over the world - and you won't find one of them on GFY or at Internext.

                                                                                                                                                                                          this isn't about protecting kids - it's an attempt to get rid of the porn industry in another way other than by the obscenity laws - because the government loses every obscenity case it prosecutes.

In otherwords, You knew, or should have know that the person was under age, and that her ID was fake.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Believe it or not, I saw it in a trial in Miami, and they said that. The guy defended himself, but having 6 police officers state that there is NO WAY they he could have know that the license was fake, since it had been issued by DMV. Well the guy got 6 years.

I don't know what a pedophile looks like, not sure I could generalize enough to say that nobody in the porn industry is one.
