Porn producer, Ira Isaacs, Found Guilty on Five Counts of Federal Obscenity

[Rey C.]

Isaacs was indicted several years ago as part of an effort by a Bush administration task force to crack down on smut in the United States. The unit has since been disbanded.

While this guy's movies were extreme and not to my liking (at all), his conviction (as well as Kimberly Kupp's arrest last year) is an example of why I get such a kick out of seeing some of the porn stars on here locking arms with social conservatives. It's like watching a chicken walking wing in arm with Colonel Sanders... thinking that the good Colonel has the chicken's best interests at heart.


Ira Isaacs Found Guilty on Five Counts of Federal Obscenity

LOS ANGELES — A jury today found fetish filmmaker Ira Isaacs guilty on five counts of violating federal obscenity laws.

He'll be sentenced on Aug. 6. It was the third obscenity trial for the distributor and producer, who all along has contended that the works he had been charged with have artistic value and can't be deemed obscene. The first two ended with mistrials.

Isaacs said he was "disappointed" with the verdict, but had no further comment at post time.

Isaac was indicted for his distribution of "Mako’s First Time Scat," "Hollywood Scat Amateurs #7," "Hollywood Scat Amateurs #1" and "Japanese Doggie 3 Way."

A verdict was read about 1:15 p.m. on Friday. The jury took less than two hours to make its decision.

Both sides wrapped up testimony on Thursday, setting up for closing arguments made this morning.

Federal prosecutor Damon King said in the government's closing statement that Isaacs' goal in selling obscene material was solely to make money, but Isaacs' attorney, Roger Jon Diamond, said in his closing statement that the case is about testing the First Amendment.

XBIZ continues coverage of the Isaacs verdict through the afternoon. An XBIZ TV interview that was conducted with Isaacs in March after his second trial can be viewed here.

Yeah, social conservatives are pretty much the only people ever to try and stop the distribution of scat porn.

Like it or not, The Miller Test remains the standard for determining the validity of Federal Obscenity charges.

A work is determined to be obscene, according to the Miller test, if:
-"The average person, applying contemporary community standards," would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest.
-The work depicts/describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable state law.
-The work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
(The work is considered obscene only if all three conditions are satisfied.)

Obviously the Federal courts have determined that Isaacs' work has met all three of these standard bearing measures, and therefore the work is deemed obscene.

To act like social conservatives are the only people in whole the country who would find movies of people literally shitting on other people obscene, is silly.

It's funny how people get grossed by shit, fat, two cocks briefly touching each other for DPing a girl and then they consider the below totally amazing an legitimate: if you have time and will,
goto the original video on youtube and read the comments:

"amazing and good how old r they"

"Thanks so much...they are both 5 =)"

"GREAT JOB GIRL!!!! super cute job!"

"OMG how muuch cuteeerrr can these little girls get
VERY GOOD & VERY CUT"

"omygosh i know Jojo she is the cutest little thing ever"

"my friend made them =)" :surprise:

"love it where do u find out all of the contests from and where did they get the adorable costums"

"Love their facials : )" :eek:

"is francesca shy or was she just nervous?"

Since when pedo is legal in the US? The bad thing is that everyone's kids grow watching that shit on kids and prime time on tv while Isaacs' adult shit-related movies need to be looked for and purchased showing an ID.

So, for me: send Isaacs out and the two kids' parents, plus the producer and casting people from the show in, please.

It's not just about scat porn. Did Kimberly Kupps take a dump on somebody in the clips that got her busted? No, I don't believe she did. Did John Stagliano? No, I don't believe he did. Did Barry Goldman? No, I don't believe he did either. Didn't keep them from getting arrested though, did it?

And yes, social conservatives (fundamentalists, Evangelicals, etc.), as well as radical feminists/feminazis, are primarily the ones pushing for more prosecutions of the porn industry. They (like the socially conservative Morality in Media) are the ones who have criticized Obama for disbanding/reshuffling Bush's Obscenity Task Force. They are the ones who pushed the GOP POTUS candidates to sign a pledge to more vigorously pursue obscenity prosecutions. It's certainly not social libertarians... as they (we) are more live & let live types; generally speaking, what consenting adults do or buy is their own business. I don't care for scat porn, so guess what? I don't buy it or watch it. I don't care for illicit drugs. So I don't buy them or take them. What other people put into their bodies or their DVD players is really none of my concern. That's how I try to handle things that I don't like or agree with. But that's just me. :dunno: Some people like to pretend that they believe in staying out of your business... while they're going through your underwear drawer, just to make sure that you don't have anything that they don't approve of (i.e., community standards).

Romney Signs Anti-Porn Pledge, Ignores Demand To Return Contribution From ‘Hardcore’ Pornographer

Patrick Trueman, the president of MIM and the former chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section at DOJ during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, issued a statement congratulating the GOP candidates for taking a stand. "Vigorous prosecution of those who violate our nation's obscenity laws is critical now," Trueman said. "Our nation is suffering a pandemic of harm from pornography that is readily available—even to children on the Internet and in other venues. Addiction among adults and even children is now widespread. Pornography is a common cause of the destruction of marriage. It leads to misogyny and violence against women and is a contributing factor in sexual trafficking."

Venue “is everything in obscenity cases. It’s the whole ball of wax,” said Larry Walters, an adult-industry defense lawyer.

Social conservatives railed against the Clinton Administration for not prosecuting adult obscenity and were disappointed when few such cases were brought in the early years of the Bush Administration. Things perked up a bit in 2005 when Attorney General Alberto Gonzales set up an Obscenity Prosecution Task Force, which ultimately focused on prosecuting fetish, bestiality and so-called fringe porn.

I couldn't make it past :26 of that video. That is worse than any porn I've seen, including two girls one cup.

I really don't see why this is illegal. It's gross, but that's my opinion. Some people find it arousing, which literally every single adult can relate to. Everybody has something specific that turns them on, and I don't see why some people's preferences should be outlawed as obscene or indecent (so long as the participants are willing and it's not snuff or anything along those lines). As long as the material is easy enough to avoid if you don't want to see it, and it's not being sold/marketed to minors, I couldn't care any less if people wanna watch other people shit on each other.

You got me beat - I made it to :19 and bailed. If anyone made it all the way through, please tell me there's no brass pole or dollar bills involved.
