I "claim" nothing until this point.

Recently on another board, a BSDM girl came in and complained about a police raid at her dungeon. She didn't mention a few little "facts", like her dungeon was in a residential neighborhood, and less than 1000 feet from a church or school.

Leaving off important facts (such minor things as potentially disobeying an order from a judge, using images without 2257 documents, perhaps trading porn access in return for shot up soldier pictures) is a bad way to present a situation. The initial post suggests that Chris is just some guy sitting a home, the police bust in and lock him up and throw away the key. The reality is much, much different, and requires a much more in depth look at the situation to truly appreciate all that is going on (and I don't even suggest for a minute that I understand all the undertones here).

Polk County. If you are in the adult business in Florida and don't know about Polk County, then you need to learn some history.

First off, very important: This is a "user posted image" situation. Anyone want to bet what the 2257 status was of those images?

Community standards is an issue. Publish from Polk County, which has apparently the most restrictive community standards, and you might have to live up to it. That the lawyer was using the dismissal of the Extreme Associates case as an example is not helping anymore, considering that prosecution has been restarted after a court ruling.

Chris did some things that brought attention (and not good attention) to his site. It didn't take long after that for the Polk County people to jump on him and take him down. Legal? Consitutional? Doesn't really matter for Chris, who could spend the next two years sitting in jail waiting for a court date (could any of us afford to have a lawyer handle 301 seperate bail hearings, arrange 301 seperate bonds? I have a feeling that the authorities are piling it on, rather than allowing 1 arraignment, they appear to have arraigned him on each charge one after another, which forces the justice system to assign bail to each charge, and require a bond for each charge. I am thinking that someone pisses someone else off).

At the end of the day, telling only half the story is a disservice to Chris and to the adult community as a whole. You can learn a bunch from looking at what he was doing and understanding how he ended up under the wheels of justice.
