3rd arrest in florida adult websites crack down
 

3rd man charged in Web porn ring

A third suspect was arrested Monday in a multimillion-dollar Internet pornography operation that authorities say was based in Pensacola.

Andrew Kevin Craft, 38, identified by investigators as the general manager of the Web site on which locally produced films were shown, was taken into custody at his home in the 6500 block of Memphis Avenue in Pensacola.

Like the two suspects arrested Friday, Craft was booked on a charge of racketeering -- conducting a criminal enterprise by engaging in prostitution and the manufacture and sale of obscene material.

Escambia County Sheriff Ron McNesby and State Attorney Bill Eddins on Saturday announced a months-long investigation into Global Technology Productions, which did business as Ray Guhn Productions.

The business revolved around a Web site with some 5,000 subscribers who could view films featuring group sex for $30 a month, according to an affidavit.

The films were made at several homes in Pensacola and Pace, at five hotels in Escambia County, along Interstate 10 and Interstate 110, in wooded areas and in other public places, said Assistant State Attorney Russ Edgar, who led the investigation.

Edgar estimated that about 100 local men and women participated in the films. He would not identify any of those people or say how the film- makers located them.

The two men arrested Friday were:

? Web site owner Clinton Raymond McCowen, 45, also known as Ray Guhn, who resides in the 1900 block of Rue La Fontaine in Navarre.

? Producer and Web site technician Kevin Patrick Stevens, 36, of the 9700 block of Fowler Avenue in Pensacola.

The affidavit says a confidential informant told investigators that Craft solicited her to make movies for Ray Guhn Productions.

In addition, the affidavit says the informant also said she was paid to have sex with Craft, McCowen and another associate during "private parties'' at which they would determine whether women would be good performers.

The informant reported making as much as $1,000 for a movie.

Another confidential source told investigators that Craft, known to her as Jim, was responsible for recruiting models, finding locations for shoots, making the movies and paying the models, the affidavit says.

Craft was in the Escambia County Jail on Monday evening under $75,000 bond. McCowen and Stevens bonded out Saturday.

Edgar said more arrests are expected in "the next several days or several weeks.'

rut roh..

arn't you that republican Conservative, you should be supporting this

heaven forbid they did something to combat gangviolence, domestic violence and reformed some social services b4 mounting huge efforts on something as menial as porn.

ugh,
whats the deal, didn't they have the paper work done ?
Did they found other reasons ? wth

Sounds like homeboy was mixing bidness with pleasure.

Note to self: ixnay on the rivatepay artiespay.

No shit huh =)


This doesn't sound right to me though. There has to be more to it.

Ok, so I get part of the allure of Florida...I spent about a year down south of Miami many years ago, etc...

However, what the fuck... Did someone not tell everyone down there even remotely involved in this biz that it's the DEEP SOUTH!?

They need to pack up and get their asses back to Cali or AZ at a minimum.

:(

Sounds like a real bust... any updates on the TitanCash peeps??

no thats not me :error sorry wrong guy

I am the direct oppisite


and no there is not more to this its the republicans trying to set precedent while they still have power

well if they were fucking models they dug their own grave
fuck em

Yeah so what was the issue, paperwork?

thats pussylover i think sorry, I get shit mixed up when I'm, drink

don't blame the people, blame it on that dude named Chad with the massive wang...

:winkwink:

it amazes me how every time theese bible thumpin fools arrest someone in the biz I see all theese post from people in the biz who always find some sort of way to lay blame on the victims ( the webmasters)

so what they fucked a model or two
so what they shot in some woods in the middle of but fuck egypt
so fuckin what..............

bottom line is this

consenting adults are in jail and facing felony charges because their actions didnt pass some idiots MORAL beliefs

stop blaming the webmasters

the system is fucked

people really need to stick together on all forms of legal porn right now

that includes scat, bondage, etc dont give these bible thumpers an inch

stick together

I feel bad for any local residents that were affilliates. They may be coming for you too.

whats crazy to me is that if adult webmasters stuck together and wielded their collective power ( the internet alone) they could influnce the opinions of the people in a major way

think about it

the people on this board know how to control millions and millions of internet users

why not take some of this traffic we control and use it to protect our right

shit even a popup explaining the freedom of speech

the internet porn biz needs some sort of governing or umberlla orginazation to set standards and weild our collective power when needed

I'm not gonna stick for someone that uses his rank to get laid.
Out of all the whores he should've been smart enough not to fuck someone
he's working with.

:Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap :Oh crap

I completely understand that and agree 1000%

however they really dont care that he did or did not

its all bullshit and a means to an end goal

eradicate online porn period

so my position is dont give them anything

I don't even know how to respond to that anymore...

:/

Maybe they were making the male talent pay... instead of paying them =)

Don't get me wrong I'm all for freedom of speech
but lets stop and take this as a serious business shall we ?
If you want the same rights as mainstream do everything by the book
and don't give them any reason to hit you.

If this guys were clean you'd sure see more people jumping at this but
at this point they fucked up.

you know this how?

I was commenting on the article.
If he didn't do that I'm sure he can prove it in court.
But I don't think this guys would be that stupid to arrest someone
without evidence.

the sky is falling down

did any of you dumb fucks read the article or do any research??

the dudes got nailed for prostitution/escorts first - then the cops found out about the porn site later which made the story newsworthy.

why anyone who operates a porn operation in the USA still is beyond me...

yeah, was thinking the same, usually when you fuck up they arrest you and then on top of yuor 'real' charge they come up with another 5 or 6

Looks like they got busted for the escorting biz. I know some counties in FL dont go for producing porn. I guess their neighborhood secret got to big. :Oh crap

Sure ... and that goes both ways Antonio... all that is needed is a basic charge initially.

Who knows.. prob the state prosecutor still don't know, - till they get all the data collated, the "map" sorted and credibility and strength/weakness of evidence, it's very hard to say what the "main" offense and any substantive offenses may be.

Dunno what it's like in the US on this, but the tendency in some other areas is to "pile on" charges to impress a jury how "wicked" the defendants are - then wheel in 50 cartons of what may appear to be evidence to show how big that is.:winkwink: (Truth can be 49 cartons of unopened photocopy paper borrowed from an office).

You're not far from Cuba. I'd start swimming...





Just kidding man. I'm sure you'll be fine.

ill play the devils advocate here.....

some would believe that porn helps in the downfall of society. which would then lead to the things mentioned above. maybe this is their way of starting at the root? you know how those religious wackos are.

the right wing sux balls

Can't wait to see the tactical teams show up at Internext.

owww thats gotta chafe!

Good post:thumbsup

oh my god...this is really something
 

I just can't believe it...check www.mythrillworld.com

So, they were allegedly running an escort service in addition to the adult sites, servicing paying Johns --or they were allegedly simply getting their rocks off on the casting couch with the hired help?

It sounds like the latter, but please correct me if I am wrong..

Not good.

:(

Exactly, I think it is more that in the article is says they were having "private parties" and also what no one seems to realize is that it says they were having MEMBERS act in the content, so they can get them by saying the members are paying X amount for a membership and also they get to fuck these girls on the site. So they can technically say that can be prostitution since they are paying for the membership. Does no one else see this?

At least that is what I get out of the article. We will see once more comes out about it.

:2 cents:

<Big B as Friday>]

Give us just the Facts!!

</Big B as Friday>

Facts and more fact

</Big B as Friday>

lol

I think this is the big point here we dont have much in the way of facts

from what I have been able to determine the chrages that were levied were all prostitution/obscenity related.

There were no drug or weapons charges, that was sensationilism by the local fish wrapper.

The titancash sites are down, don't know if its permanent but I suspect it is...at least for a while.

the guys from these sites post here regularly lets wait for them to say what really happened before we convict them...they may actually even need our help.

are their sites down or just traffic jammed?

something fishy about this story, doesn't sound right to me, there must be more than what they have explained in that article!!

ok...then Bill Clinton didnt abuse his rank......this happens all the time......you dont have to agree with it...just live with it. part of the game...the food chain of sex.

very wise words.

remember we are only hearing from the news agencies which do at times embellish the truth to sell more papers. if its personal and these guys are getting charged based on the parties, then it really doesn't affect us at all - but if they are getting charged for using escorts as models etc. then the industry needs to take note and another big battle is on the way.

Burning a U.S. flag in Escambia County, Florida. Legal.
Shooting bukkake movies in Escambia County, Florida. Not legal.

Ok. Got it.

seems you guys still dont get it:Oh crap

the mention of parties and escorts etc etc are all A MEANS TO AN END

the target is porn............period

no matter how they attempt to prosecute this case it will in fact have an impact on the industry,

when you come up with all the reasons in the world why it was their fault and why you dont have to worry because you are not doing one varible in the whole equation..................you give them room to reach back and get a better swing in when its your turn to get knocked out

the target is porn

if they win this case...regardless of parties or whatever other excuse to look the other way it will give plenty of local sheriff's and other publicly officials the balls they need to use porn as a scapegoat for votes at every local election

dont give them an inch

dont give them a fuckin inch, regardeless of what ray guhn did

stand behind it

I say we did up all the dirt or negative information we can on the local prosecutor , sheriff or mayor and push it out there,,,, promote it like a brand new niche......I will even host it on my servers I really dont care this has got to stop

fight back dammit

everyone wants to drop their head and back away slowly while wild animals attack your camp
