The law actually allows possession of materials that are legally obscene in the home in many cases, although child pornography has had the weakest defense under the 1st Amendment. But in this case, the guy pleaded guilty, so I don't think he can appeal. The wonders of plea bargaining-- threaten with even more charges so people give up their constitutional right to a trial for fear of greater prosecution.

Dennis Cooper (author of many deadpan, ironic novellas of SoCal gay hustlers, heavy metal and punk kids and their older keepers, used to write a column for ArtForum, great writer) should call his lawyer...

This will be reversed on appeal, no? Though crime and artistic licence anyone? http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010704/us/obscene_journal_1.html Michael Pugliese
