Justice Department indicts Extreme Associates

The US Justice Department filed a 10-count obscenity indictment against the porn studio Extreme Associates today (LA Times registration required, sorry). John Ashcroft (boo, hiss) said, "Today's indictment marks an important step in the Department of Justice's strategy for attacking the proliferation of adult obscenity. The Justice Department will continue to focus our efforts on targeted obscenity prosecutions that will deter others from producing and distributing obscene material." More background on the case in this earlier Daze item about the FBI raid on Extreme Associates headquarters in April.
