Voters in Yellowstone County last week defeated a proposed ordinance that would criminalize “obscenity” made available to one or more people of any age. The proposal was sweeping, targeting adult entertainment available in publications, videos, strip clubs and perhaps the Internet.
Assistant Attorney General John C. Richter announced the sentencing of a man this week to 30 months in prison for conspiring to transport obscene materials through the mail.
The man, Gary A. Robinson, was convicted in 2002 on charges of transporting videotapes that depicted bestiality and defecation content from his catalog titled "Susie's Corral." Robinson used the United Parcel Service to transport the tapes.
