Isaacs Obscenity Trial Gets Underway in L.A.

LOS ANGELES — It’s been less than a week since verdicts were handed down in the Max Hardcore obscenity case, and now all eyes have switched from Tampa, Fla., to downtown Los Angeles, where another federal obscenity case gets underway.

Stolen Cars Films and LA Media owner Ira Isaacs faces multiple obscenity-related counts in a case that gets underway Monday morning.

Isaacs specifically was charged with two counts of using a common carrier and interactive computer service for interstate commerce in obscene films, and two counts of distributing movies without the required statement describing where age documentation records could be located.

The first four obscenity-related counts are in connection with videos entitled “Gang Bang Horse — ‘Pony Sex Game,’” “Mako’s First Time Scat,” “Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 7,” and “BAE 20.” The indictment alleges that Isaacs shipped “Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 7,” and “BAE 20” outside the state of California.

Among the items that the indictment seeks forfeiture of are three domain names and websites owned by Isaacs, ScatMovies.com, ScatCinemax.com and StolenCarFilms.com.

If convicted, Isaacs could face up to five years in prison for each count in the indictment, according to the Justice Department.

The prosecution is the first in Southern California by a Justice Department task force formed in 2005 after Christian conservative groups appealed to the Bush administration to regulate adult content.

Jurors will view hours of hardcore porn, just like in the Hardcore case.

Isaacs claims the pieces are art that and thus protected under the Constitution; federal prosecutors contend they are criminally obscene.

Presiding over the trial will be Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and a staunch advocate of free speech. Kozinski was assigned the case as part of a rotation in which he and other federal appellate judges oversee criminal trials in addition to deciding appeals.

Isaacs’ attorney, Roger Jon Diamond, was unavailable for comment at press time.
