Texas Webmasters Convicted On Obscenity Charges
Texas Couple Guilty in Obscenity Trial
A federal jury in Dallas on Wednesday convicted a Fort Worth couple of violating federal obscenity laws by selling videos featuring graphic rape and sexual torture via a Web site.
Legal experts, prosecutors and defense attorneys say it is the first federal obscenity case involving adult pornography in North Texas in at least 10 years.
Former Dallas police officer Garry Ragsdale, 34, and his wife, Tamara, 32, were named in indictments unsealed in June, five years after FBI (news - web sites) agents, postal inspectors and Dallas vice detectives launched their original investigation.
