interesting article about porn guy going to jail

He brought the shit on himself really by evading his taxes and stuff but the part of the article that troubles me is that he was charged with 15 counts of obscenity and pled guilty to one of them for transporting a german movie called Nympho Bride acrosss state lines.

The article says that the US Attorney played up the obscenity stuff and actually said : " John Kenneth Coil has been a long time pornography merchant who has made millions selling obscenity and cheating on his taxes. He is finally on his way to federal prison for his crimes,? Sutton said. ?American families have won a battle today in the fight against pornography. Today?s sentences should put those in the hard-core pornography business on notice that there will be a price to pay for violating our obscenity and tax laws.?

you can't excuse the guy for cheating on his taxes, he did and deserves to get punished but the stuff about families winning a battle and porn merchants being put on notice is pretty scary.

here's the article
