    So why didn't they arrest Sean Lockhart as the article states he was involved as well?

    This part was interesting "Virginia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to receive money from the earnings of male and female prostitution"

    So JUST being involved in porn you can have these charges filed against you in Virginia?

    If I am not mistaken, you can have these charges brought against you in any state except california.

    Ditto. Few guys at the beach just lying around naked, talking about a recent murder 2 of them committed. That's creepy for sure.

    No way seriously?

    Maybe Chad could weigh in here. That is a sad state of affairs if it's the case :bobby:

    Yeah, I'm sure Chad can weigh in on this one. Especially since he represented Sean Lockhart for awhile, didn't he? In the meantime, here's a good explanation of RICO:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rackete...anizations_Act

    I don't believe it's been used so far in the US in any porn-related prosecutions, though, although it may have been used in a big tax evasion prosecution last year involving a chain of adult stores in Texas.

    I'm not defending Sean here, but consider what is known about the situation: Sean had allegedly settled his lawsuit with Bryan/Cobra, and the settlement provided for Cobra marketing Sean's videos and website in exchange for a % of the profits. This would have brought Sean a considerable amount of money, in that Cobra had a large mailing list, a busy website, etc. and could have sent a lot of traffic to Sean's website and sold a lot of DVDs.

    It seems to me that Sean would have had no incentive to want Bryan killed at that point. A month or two earlier, yes, but not after the settlement was made.

    Of course, I suppose one could also argue that Sean would be willing to make *any* agreement to settle with Bryan, if he knew that he would never have to honor the agreement that was being made, because Bryan was about to be killed. And Grant (Sean's boyfriend) is definitely on record, fairly close to the time Bryan was killed, as asking around if he knew anyone

    And... all I've got to say is this guy Harlow has to be *completely* stupid. Admitting to Sean that he did it, records of renting a hotel room near the murder?!

    Apparently Grant and Sean had reason to believe that Harlow might do something but didn't do anytihng about it:

    Yes, I CAN weigh in on this particular issue -- the issue of whether or not an escort company can be charged with pandering in all but California. That has nothing to do with my representation of Sean, which ended when he hired attorney Yates, who I have a lot of respect for and who has a lot more experience than I do in trademark issues.

    The issue of a pandering charge possibility, at least in the context of this thread, is twisted. In California, the Cal. Supreme Court determined that hiring someone to perform in hardcore porn was not pandering, performing in porn is not prostitution. No other state has such a state supreme court ruling, so if we are splitting hairs, paying porn actors could still be charged as pandering/prostitution in the other 49 states.
    Bringing a charge of pandering/prostitution against a porn actor in another state would be very risky for any law enforcement because of the real possibility that the respective state court could follow the California Supreme Court and determine that paying actors to perform in hardcore scenes is not pandering/prostitution, thus making that state the next Porn Valley and no law enforcement agency wants to take that risk. Thus, theoretically a porn producer could be charged in all but California, but it seems to have been a quid pro quo for the past 25 years that pandering/prostitution is not a charge the prosecution is willing to risk.
    In this Virginia case, it is my personal opinion that the pandering/ prostitution charges are just part of stacking -- bringing as many charges as possible to get leverage against the defendant for him to plead guilty to the most serious charges. The lesser charges can be dismissed as part of a plea bargain.
    Also, in this case there appears to be an in-call escort operation. That is definitely not selling porn. I would not take these charges as any threat to legitimate porn producers.

    wow. this is completely weird and unreal...

    In my mind, the truly unfortunate thing is that this will probably not be widely viewed as an isolated incident concerning only those involved. In the public eye it could very likely be seen as something not unusual to porn producers as a whole, and will serve only to further solidify the stigma that porn has of being generally associated with crime... :bs:

    Is there a porn anti-defamation league somewhere I could join?

    Also, Virginia Beach/Norfolk has a history of porn-related prosecutions. One of the owners of AMVC.com (sells very janky low-rent amateur porn, much of which is so unwatchable that AEBN wouldn't even accept it for PPV) was years ago located in the Norfolk/Va Beach area, and was busted (and went to jail) on a zoning charge for producing porn in a residential area. Subsequently, after getting out of jail, they moved to somewhere near Seattle.

    I don't know if there were aggravating factors that motivated the prosecution, but the impression I had was that the Norfolk/Va Beach area was not a place where one should be running any sort of adult business.
