Chris Wilson is being sent to jail for violating the conditions of his bail by continuing to operate his pornography Web site.
Judge J. Dale Durrance today agreed with a prosecution request to revoke Wilson's bail because pornographic images continued to appear on his site after his arrest.
Wilson took all potentially obscene content off the Web site earlier this month, after the motion to revoke his bail was filed.
"It is with some regret that we must inform our users that this website has been forced to remove all sexually explicit content at this time," according to a posting on the site. "The owner of the site is being threatened with jail by Polk County, Florida, authorities if any obscene images appear on the site. Since nobody can tell, in advance, whether an image might be found obscene by some judge or jury, we have chosen to remove all explicit content at this time."
Wilson's attorneys had asked for more time to present their arguments, including whether the state's attempt to force Wilson to cease publication of his Web site, under threat of having his bail revoked, is a prior restraint of free speech, and whether the State Attorney can regulate conduct occurring outside the boundaries of the local circuit (since Wilson has moved to Orange County).

I have no sympathy for the guy.
He was granted bail.
He willingly broke the conditions of his bail.
He's back behind bars.
The legal system does work after all :thumbsup:
