I will speak more on what was going on "behind the scenes" later to anyone that wants to listen. I do want to clear up a few things though.
1) This obscenity case was a fight I was willing to fight till the end. I believe I have done nothing wrong what-so-ever and sat in jail on two different occasions not knowing when I would be released, to accent that fact. There was so much more involved in this then a plain obscenity case. You have to understand the extreme hatered this sheriff and proscuter have for me and this line of work. The decision to take this deal was NOT an easy one even though it boiled down to basicaly a slap on the wrist it was still VERY hard decision to make. You have to know that thinking about the impact a negitive outcome could have caused this industry played a VERY big role in my decision as well.
2) The state was also about to file two seperate RICO charges against me. So I would be fighting in civil court as well as felony criminal court on both of those and still fighting 1 count in felony criminal court for obscenity and 300 counts relating to the various misdomenors also. This would have easily tied up the next 5+ years of my life with the end result possibly being prision for a very long time.
3) I at no point did I ever "try and play cute" or "thumb my nose" at anyone. I only did what most of you are doing here which is run/own and adult site. Yes I spoke to the press at first and I would do it again if they ask questions about my business. I am not hiding anything, they can ask me anything they want. I know some of you say you wouldn't talk to the press no matter what. That's fine but I also have to say that most of you saying that have never done anything worthy of the press talking to you. Think about that for a second.
4) I am not a HUSTLER, PLAYBOY, ADULT.COM etc but I was by no means barely making it in this industry. My site made VERY good money but as some of you know these cases are VERY VERY expensive and asking for donations to the fight was as much about letting people who believe this was a grave injustice show support as it was helping keep the fight financially going.
5) I have been through two Pentagon investagations, kicked out of my townhouse, sat in jail twice, my house raided, my business gone through with a fine tooth comb, several death threats, my personal and business computers shipped to the Pentagon to be forensicly searched through, stalked by the media and the consertive christian wierdos all because I TRULY believe in this industry and I truly believe I have done nothing worng. I chose to fight instead of roll-over no matter what some of you claim.
5) Larry Walters and gang from
http://www.firstamendment.com/ is truly one of the BEST allies you can have in this industry. I owe my freadom to these guys. They are truly amazing. Larry, Derk, and Marc believe so much in this industry and take attacks against it so personally that they come out fighting like pitbulls. They are in my opinion THE BEST in the industry.
please excure spelling and grammer mistakes as I typed this very fast as I am late for something already.
