This is the guy who has Chris Wilson in his jailhouse this Christmas.

According to the Ledger, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said,

"Isn't it strange when people are charged with violating the obscenity law, they run and hide behind the First Amendment?" he said. "While they're running and hiding, they grab liberal attorneys, who make their money from the news coverage. People who don't violate the obscenity laws don't need the ACLU, a California attorney, attorneys for the pornography industry, and all other out of county attorneys, to defend them."

In response to the ACLU brief, Judd said, "I believe the obscenity investigation speaks for itself."

There are several people who live outside of Polk County who assist Wilson in running the Web site. When asked if they also might be charged with obscenity, Judd would only say, "The investigation is ongoing."

Polk County would have jurisdiction over anyone involved in running the Web site, even if they don't live in Polk County, as long as Polk County residents are able to view that Web site, Judd said.

"If obscene content is accessible in Polk County or Florida on the Internet, it's in violation of the law," Judd said.For the entire article, click here.
