    More Obscenity News

    Link to article

    HOUSTON -- A Houston store clerk could face up to a year in prison because of the provocative items being sold on a north Houston store's shelves.

    Houston police charged Jose Escalante with obscenity because he was in possession of adult toys with the intent to promote and sell them. If convicted, Escalante could face up to a year in prison and a $4,000 fine.

    Escalante is an employee of the Adult Video Megaplex location on Interstate 45 in north Houston. The store sells items that are considered obscene because they are designed to be used in a sexual act.

      If I remember correctly, in the state of Texas it is against the law to be in possession of more than 5 sex toys. I seem to recall a woman getting busted last year. She was doing "sex toy parties" in peoples houses and someone complained.

          thats so fucking stupid

          its just a quick way for them to make some money

          Often times I wonder why
          There's love and hate, theres live or die.
          When sickness comes I must decide:
          When feelings go, theres suicide.

              WOW

              I sure hope things change in the new millenium. Maybe if we are all good and say are prayers they will find a cure for polio.

                  My mistake...they can only be sold as novelties. Not as sexual toys.

                  There is no shortage of links about the arrest last year.

                          If I'm not mistaken, it is against the law to sell even one dildo in Texas.

                          The woman was Joanna Webb and I donated some $$$ to her legal fund.

                                          Obscenity enforcement on the local level is nothing new. There are dozens of cases each year.
