During the Regan years the Postal Service had its investigators place orders for porn VHS tapes from California. I don't remember what state they were delivered to but the Post Office routed the mail through very a conservitive county in Ohio. The government then charged the distributor in Ohio court even thought the tapes only passed through Ohio and were not viewed there.
I don't recall the ultimate disposition of this case but I think the sheriff could and would be very happy to charge others in this case and then let them fight it out in court for 10 years.
