Busted: Some family-friendly video stores check-out a whole bunch of porn-- to police.

FOX Carolina's Jamie Guirola reports, investigators aren't worrying about late fees because the boxes of pornographic videos they checked out are now criminal evidence. Three stores were raided by the Spartanburg County Sheriff 's Office in 1 day. The Movie Gallery and Priscilla's Adult store just off Pine Street and Pick-A-Flick in Greer, a partner of Movie Gallery

Sheriff Chuck Wright: "Because of uur investigation we got several thousand videos and a lot of materials at the other location".

A 2 week investigation based on complaints from the community. One worker was charged with renting or selling porn to someone under 18. But the chief charge is selling or renting obscene material.

Obscene material in this case, defined legally as "sexual conduct that includes, vaginal, anal, or oral intercourse?and masturbation". Material these stores have been selling for years-- and at least one is allowed to by being classified as a sexually oriented business.

Turned away customers we spoke with don't really have a problem with who sells porn as long as it's out of reach for children.

Customer: "I'd hate for my kids to run in there or something".

Customer: "I don?t like it, I mean it?s wrong; they shouldn?t have it in a public place".

Four people, total, charged in Friday's raid. The clerk who allegeldy sold porn to a minor could face up to 10 years in prison.

I think what they are busted for is selling porn at the sister store that doesn't have the correct zoning. One store is allowed to sell it and the other one is not, but they did it anyway.

I Don't think it's as bad as it seems, just someone trying to sneak one by the local gov't and got caught.

WOW !!!! you know a lot .... So " the other stores " are not allowed to sell/rent this ... Says who by the way ????

Do you think that ALL video retail location offering adult entertainment are classified as " Adult Stores " or operate only in a certain zoning ???? 2 seems to be the normal " mom & pop " all fare stores ...

So if you are right, wich you aren't, why did they also bust Priscilla's Adult store ?????

Movie Gallery is a fairly large chain. I think they might be a franchise.

It's bascially a Blockbuster minus all the straight to DVD crap plus an adult section.

I know we have a few of them here in Western NY.
