FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Re: Sweet Productions Inc. / Steve Sweet Obscenity Prosecution

Mr. Steve Sweet was today acquitted on all 20 counts of charges of making, distributing and circulating obscene videos contrary to s. 163 (8) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

The Honourable Judge R.R. Low in a cogent and concise 25 page written Judgment held that that the impugned videos, consisting of scenes from SEG websites www.sadoslaves.com, www.misspain.com and www.peelovers.com left him with a reasonable doubt, on the basis of the defence evidence proffered, that the videos offended contemporary Canadian community?s tolerance for other Canadians viewing the material.

Mr. Sweet is delighted with the outcome of this seminal decision and wishes to congratulate his counsel, Paul G. Kent-Snowsell, for mounting such a thorough and vigorous defence to the charges.

The full Reasons for Judgment will be available within the next 2-3 weeks at www.provincialcourt.bc.ca using the search term <BDSM>.

The full 25 page decision will soon be posted on our site. I will post a link when available. Thanks to everyone for your support (you know who you are!)

tbabe · 04-23-2004, 11:28 AM

CONGRATS!!!!!

This is so awesome, you guys fought the good fight on this one. any victories the govt scores on obscenity will just give them more confidence to go after more people. The sweets did a great service to our industry. You may not like what they shoot, but lots of people dont like what YOU do.

CCFool · 04-23-2004, 12:09 PM

Cool.

Now all of the companies that talked trash about you behind your backs are shitting right now.

tonkagunner · 04-23-2004, 12:31 PM

Are the people that filed claim against him going to pay his attorney bills and lost wages? They should.

Shoplifter · 04-23-2004, 12:32 PM

I have to admit I am surprised to see acquittal on all counts. I pretty much figured it would be a show trial to make an example of one of the producers.

Good stuff SEG. This is an important day.

eroswebmaster · 04-23-2004, 12:34 PM

Great news Max...thx to the Sweet group for taking one for the team.

Makingcoin · 04-23-2004, 12:38 PM

Great news for the sweets and the rest of producers in BC. Keep up the good work boys.

When you read the decision and consider that shows like Kink and Sex TV are on general broadcast TV here you can see where the Crown's case falls apart.

I sort of saw this thing as part of the prejudicial feud the VPD has with SEG and their "porno warehouse". I wonder what they will pull next.

It will be a long time if ever before there are charges like this laid again.

maxsweet · 04-23-2004, 01:26 PM

Shoplifter - It was time for BDSM practices to come out of the closet in Canada.

The content we shoot is perfectly legal in most U.S. states. It's just that in Canada there had been no legal challenge until now.

Needless to say we are extremely pleased with the decision and we're sure this will greatly affect how content producers are allowed to do business here.

SteveLightspeed · 04-23-2004, 01:30 PM

Congrats SEG!

D-Money · 04-23-2004, 02:23 PM

Congrats to the Sweet crew!

This must of cost a fortune in legal fees.

I'll never forget that video Steve shot where he had that chick send a shout outto me during a BJ.

Fuckin' funny!

I've been immortalized!
