Remarks of Attorney General John Ashc-r-o-f-t Federal Prosecutors' Symposium on Obscenity
Quote:
The Court remarked that, "Apart from sex crimes . . . there is a 'right of the Nation and of the States to maintain a decent society.' The sum of experience . . . affords an ample basis . . . to conclude that a sensitive, key relationship of human existence, central to family life, community welfare, and the development of human personality, can be debased and distorted by crass commercial exploitation of sex."
To prevent such debasement, the Department of Justice is committed unequivocally to the task of prosecuting obscenity. This commitment is demonstrated in a number of ways. First, the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) received recently nearly one million dollars in additional resources. CEOS is targeting its resources on a bold initiative to hire five information technology specialists and two additional prosecutors. These individuals will be devoted full-time to making prosecutions against child pornography and obscenity offenders using the Internet.
