New Jersey Man Charged with Obscenity Violations

A Jersey City, N.J., producer has been charged by a federal grand jury in Newark, N.J. with distributing obscene DVDs through the mails.

Barry Goldman, 58, was charged with eight counts of using the mails to deliver DVDs containing allegedly obscene films from Jersey City to addresses in Montana and Virginia. The indictment seeks forfeiture of the proceeds from the sale of the DVDs, along with property used in producing the DVDs, all web sites operated by Goldman and other property.

If convicted, Goldman faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 on each of the eight counts charged in the indictment.

An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent of the charges and it is the government?s burden to prove a defendant?s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Bonnie Hannan of the Criminal Division?s Obscenity Prosecution Task Force.

Investigation of the case was conducted by the FBI?s Adult Obscenity Squad based in the Washington, D.C. Field Office.


anyone know what kind of videos this guy was making and selling?

Appears Obama isn't going to be soft on porners

The specific films named in the indictment are “Torture of Porn Star Girl,” “Pregnant and Willing” and “Defiant Crista Submits.”

:1orglaugh

Why?
I like to see some arguments from earlier cases on this one. :)

What a complete waste of taxpayer's money.

A country of prudes and hypocrites is what we are.

hm ok. Looks like more than just pregnancy :Oh crap

Wow hog tieng preggos on their stomach?

ouch!

Looks like pretty mild stuff to be called obscene. Go Obama... :uhoh :1orglaugh

Not good.

Why on earth would he ship that shit through the mail? Dumb dumb dumb!

:( That sucks for him...

LOL OK Mike... you want to amend that statement now that you know the titles in question?

Pretty envelope-pushing stuff, ESPECIALLY when sent through US Mail. What a frickin' dumbass, that's just asking for trouble.

stupid...

How can you hogtie girls on their stomach without hurting baby???

ok, now you sound like 12assholes ron...

exactly.. I doubt peggo sex by itself is that bad but this stuff is not the type of stuff you should be sending in the mail :2 cents:

Meanwhile Obama's government has stolen more money from the people than all previous US governments combined..

And, NJ is bankrupt and rudderless.

This would never happen under a Democratic President!

Vote Obama for Hope and Change


er... wait...

what?

Let's get real for a second... it doesn't matter who's President, sending stuff like that through the mail is still going to get your ass in a sling.

What willy wonka said!

I have always said that deomocrats or republicans either one will sell us out in a heartbeat if they see one iota ofpolitical gain in it. It isnt about ideology its about pandering for votes.

Only the Libertarians publicly state we have the right to do what we do.

If you think dems or reps are your friends you are living in a dream

I do think its hilarious you guys are blaming Obama for a guy mailing videos of child endangerment type of porn. While I understand the notion you insinuate, you surely detract from the actual topic which should be... is porn okay to produce if you risk the life of a child in the womb?

in the words of Paul Harvey and here is the rest of the story. The indictment came down August 2008.

Florida Producer Charged With Obscenity Violations
Posted on Tuesday, 16 of September , 2008 at 9:47 pm

BILLINGS, MONT?A Florida producer has been charged by a federal grand jury in Billings, Mont., with distributing obscene DVDs through the mails.



In a sealed indictment returned by the grand jury on Aug. 20, and unsealed Tuesday in federal court in Billings, Miami resident Barry Goldman, 58, doing business using the names Torture Portal, Masters of Pain and Bacchus Studios, was charged with three counts of using the mails to deliver DVDs containing obscene films to an address in Billings and one count that seeks forfeiture of certain assets of the defendant.



The specific films named in the indictment are ?Torture of Porn Star Girl,? ?Pregnant and Willing? and ?Defiant Crista Submits.?



If convicted, Goldman faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 on each of the three counts charged in the indictment. 9-16-08

did you read the indictment date.. so is it bush's fault now?

listen, i can try to see if i have some room in my warehouse to store your fail.. :2 cents:

I'm not surprised. Kind of figured it was something that was already in the pipeline.

I suppose that all the GFY republicans will be rather disappointed though.

your messiah, black jesus.... the Constitutional Lawyer had and has the power to stop all this or even tear down the "Obscenity Task Force".... but he's not going to do something that's going to cost him votes.

Obama is at the helm... its Obama's Department of Justice. Not Bush's

you are so funny. On a major liberal blog today they accused me of being a right wing plant because Im so hard on my party.

Obama has no prob with sucking them out of the womb with a hoover, and you actually pull the Child endagerment shit? L M A O So killing a child before its born is ok in some instances... :uhoh sheesh.

Look, I'm all for letting people buy what they want to buy, etc. But Mike's right, unless there's a Libertarian in office, we're going to have situations like this, and people can either play it smart or play it stupid. This guy chose to play it stupid. Or maybe they don't have UPS or FedEx where he lives?

The topic, has nothing to do with Obama, the fact you keep wanting to make it so proves you have no real side to debate and simply want to bash Obama.

Hogtieing girls for periods of time and forcing them to lie on their stomach, doesnt sound like a good idea, but go ahead, keep bring up divisive topics like abortion and Obama and avoid an actual discussion. Filming bondage on pregnant women, involving tieing them up and forcing them to lay on stomach and then mailing it out, is walking a line most would stear clear of.

Come on get real. No one in their right mind expected the man to come out and defend porn.

A lot of us were counting on some Clinton administration style benign neglect however and, as of now, it looks like that might still be in the cards :thumbsup

He also stole the few brain cells you had left :thumbsup


As for the topic, the pregnant one is a bit controversial, because it is implicating an unwilling soon to be born child ... He could suffer sequels from this.

Other titles ... to each is own .. You want to do it, you want to watch it ... should not even be of concern to the authorities :2 cents:

No kidding. They'll spend millions to go court and then more money to lock him up. All because he shot an adult video with consenting adults?

Mouse traps on her titties!! OUCH!


Motherfucker.. after typing that, I thought how painful a mousetrap would be on my dick..

If it was about the well being of the child, it should be child endangerment or whatever law prohibits people from doing danger to an unborn child.

The charge is obscenity and that's what should be judged. It's sad as a nation that we target free speech like this. Hopefully the ACLU or someone will take the case and win.

I agree that obscenity prosecutions are ridiculous. But when you're standing in a swamp, you can cry all you want that there should be no mud, but you're still standing in a swamp. that's reality.

Best thing to do, don't step in the swamp.

If he had Lee Noga's zip code list none of this would have happened...

I am seeing several stories saying only 3 movies were charged in the original indictment, and they all seem to say it is the "Porn Star" video that was charged. Have they added the "Porn Store" video? It seems the "Porn Store" video contains more extreme content; the "Porn Star" type of content can be found on almost any BDSM site.

Attorney General Eric Holder is no friend of this industry. And having David Ogden in there as the Deputy Attorney General is no benefit either.

Many thought having a former porn attorney would catch us a break, but it might result in just the opposite effect.

As an attorney I hate dealing with either defense or plaintiff counsel that have now done a flip-flop. They are usually more difficult to deal with since they know what being on the other side is like.

Even though this indictment came down under Bush, it doesnt appear that the Holder/Ogden team is going to be soft on porn.

I still think the bellweather case is John Stagliano's case. If that starts moving forward I think that will signal the true intentions of this administration.

This current case against Goldman is still somewhat fringe and is against a smaller producer. Not exactly a battle when it comes to prosecutions.
