Grand jury indictments are credited to the FBI’s Adult Obscenity Squad

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Barry Goldman, a Jersey City-based producer of adult DVDs, has been chazged with eight counts of using the mails to send allegedly obscene DVDs to undercover postal inspectors in Virginia and Montana, according to a US Department of Justice (DOJ) press release.
In a turn of events which should give adult content producers cause for concern about Attorney General Eric Holder’s commitment to free speech, a federal grand jury this week returned the indictments against Goldman, which include at least one count of obscenity-based violations of the racketeer influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
"The indictment seeks forfeiture of the proceeds from the sale of the DVDs, along with property used in producing the DVDs, all web sites operated by Goldman and other property," the DOJ press release said.
It is not known when the sting operations which gave rise to the grand jury proceedings were perpetrated, but it unlikely that the investigation had been begun during Bush administration Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s tenure at Justice—a gap of more than six months. This suggests that the FBI’s "Adult Obscenity Unit," which was credited with conducting the investigation which led to the indictments, is still operating, and that the change in administration has not significantly affected its work or mission.
If convicted on all counts, Goldman would face a maximum penalty of 40 years in federal prison, and $2 million in fines.
So why did the feds pick this lucky guy?
I told you that you have to worry about the general public as in the form of a federal grand jury, because most hate porn.
Now does anybody regret voting for Obama?
Hahahahahahahahahahahah. ROFLOL.
Men, what the fuck were you expecting? The feminist left is just as anti porn as the religious right.
When people were drinking the Hillary coolaid, that was before the Obama cool aid here, I posted that.
I hate to tell you, I told you so.
I didn’t vote for him, Harvey Dent AKA Rics. I voted for nobody.
You could have voted Libertarian.
Not this year with the Libs selling their souls and running that idiot Barr.
The feds got Barry Goldman over a year ago. He was charged for selling scat and golden shower movies through a mail order catalog. A large portion of the movies he used to sell were import, produced in Europe and Latin America. He’s not the only one who sells this kind of stuff through mail order, he was the unlucky guy.
I’d like to know what my friend President Ahmadinejad thinks about this. Come on man, enlighten us on your opinions about the scat and golden showers.
My guess is he sold alot of product. Pervs worldwide dig this kind of thing. Big Moneymaker !
I hear lost of girl like gold showers, like the German piss goddess Annette and acording to the hobbyists in TER Taryn Thomas is also a water sportwomen.
Scat, well there are Zoe Mattews and Veronia Jett.
There is not too much diference between coming in a woman`s face and pissing on her face.
Well Harvey, the difference is in the color of the piss: most whores don’t like the yellow piss, they prefer the white piss. So if you’re going to piss on a whore, you better drink lots of water before that so your piss comes out white.
As for my dear firend Annette Schwarz, I have proudly pissed on her several times, once on camera and the other times off camera. She can never get enough of piss, enema and anal fisting. She’s the love of my fucking life.
Thanks for the tip, Coronel, there is some German Brazilian whore I have been “dating”. I have already sodomized her and gag factored her. Piss in on the list. And Germans love their piss.

Oh Colonel Kurtz do you even have to ask? If two consenting adults want to shit and piss all over each other, film it and sell it to other adults who want to see it, what fucking right does anybody have to stop them? I have zero interest in watching this but what I or anybody else happens to personally dislike should not be the legal litmus test. What a bunch of crap;)
I’m with you on this one, man, I even like pissing on whores. Shit, well that’s a bit too much for me, but enemas are damn hot. As long as there are two consenting adults who know what they’re doing and enjoying it, let them fucking do it.
I don’t want to revisit that old discussion, but many of girls who worked with Max Hardcore didn’t know what they were getting themselves into untill they were half through shooting the scene and found themselves compelled to finish the scene under pressure and despite being truely consenting and enjoying it; and that’s what I find wrong and problematic. Coincidentally, girls who actually enjoy extreme activities including for example Amber Rayne, Flower Tucci, Annette Schwarz, etc. never worked with Max Hardcore. Once I asked Amber would she ever work with Hardcore, she said she wouldn’t even imagine that. You know that’s a strong statement from a girl who’s pretty much done anything and everything.
“but many of girls who worked with Max Hardcore didn’t know what they were getting themselves into untill they were half through shooting the scene and found themselves compelled to finish the scene under pressure and despite being truely consenting and enjoying it; and that’s what I find wrong and problematic.”
That is the point I also have, I do find problematic that the only way to stop it was to get him on obcenity grounds and not in rape grounds. But that is more LAPD problem.
The government couldn’t care less if Max was in fact raping these girls, Harvey. Even though an obscenity conviction amounts to much less prison time, it means a lot more to a lot more people.
someone mentioned on this board a couple of weeks ago that the folks at kink.com payed their models 4 grand per scence. if thats true thats some damn good money to a civilian like me. also, i watched the slap happy series from brandon iron, and you could tell the slapping bothered some of the girls, i believe they also included a bonus scene that was filmed in a motel or hotel room and the girl could’nt take it it any more and said she quit.
Pornfan,
There was a lot more than that going on in Slap Happy!
In fact, I would venture to say that for only a HANDFUL of the girls in ANY of the movies were actually ‘into’ being slapped/gagged by Brandon Iron (and they were usually the more, shall we say, trashy porn chicks to begin with). The few names he got for the series, were more often than not, the tamest scenes (as I gather, they were not going to put up with his nonsense).
Anyhow, the first few movies Brandon really brutalized the talent (hence the appeal). If I remember correctly, the first scene in the first movie pretty much gives you the overall feel of what was coming down the pike; forced gagging, heavy slapping, vomit, snot, and sweat…all somehow mitigated by Brandon’s oh-so soothing lines such as, “…oh are those pretty tears of joy for me?! Does the whore have a gift for me (always uttered when she vomited or hacked up a really huge amount of phlegm from having Brandon’s cock shoved down her mouth for about five minutes).
I think in the third or fourth one, he seemed to try out-right comedy to calm any counter protests….as he subtitled one of his flicks ‘Human Toilets’ and made the girls wear a toilet seat while being face-fucked. Which I thought was sort of funny in a sick and twisted way…as half the time, the seat messed up the scene because Brandon couldn’t do his thing unobstructed (so halfway through, he get rid of the prop). I always wondered if Brandon is retarded or something, as most would have abandoned the concept after the second or third attempt to film a good scene.
Yet Brandon would solider on like an idiot. Also on occasion, ripping off Max’s ‘lipstick’ shtick (applying way to much to the lips and/or writing words like WHORE/SLUT or a ‘cum target’ on their faces and chest). Talk about a wood killer…Brandon ripping off Max Hardcore! If you’re going to be a pervy creep, be an original pervy creep…
But as to the question of a ‘bonus scene’ — by the end of the series, most all of the scenes were in a shitty hotel room and quite a few of the girls ended up stopping/starting/stopping the scene until Brandon came on them (either from the natural course of face-fucking, or jerking off as evidenced by many oddly placed ‘jump cuts’). One minute she’s an out of breath spit smeared mess about to puke for the third time and the next she’s calm and cleaned up with Brandon dropping a load in her mouth.
Yet it was clear from the increase of heavy editing as the series progressed, that MANY girls couldn’t take what Brandon was dishing out. Which is not to say what he was doing was inherently bad, as Silvera’s Face Fucking Inc. series runs the gambit from very mild to extremely heavy oral copulation. If anything, the lesson to be learned is that you can do a lot of stuff to a lot of porn girls, just as long as you get their input and don’t make it a habit of pushing their limits to the breaking point.
“flicks ‘Human Toilets’ and made the girls wear a toilet seat while being face-fucked. Which I thought was sort of funny in a sick and twisted way…”
Me too!
” If anything, the lesson to be learned is that you can do a lot of stuff to a lot of porn girls, just as long as you get their input and don’t make it a habit of pushing their limits to the breaking point.”
That is what I find so interesting about whores, the amount of degradation and humilliation they can take for money before they cry uncle. Incredible, they are like a whole new species of humans.
Come’on Mr. Dent! Whores are people with feelings just as much as you or me!
Actually, what was truly funny about those scenes was Brandon.
First off, he’s a short little fucker like John Strong.
Second, here’s this short little fucker with a huge cock trying to cram it down some chick’s face…only to be obstructed by a toilet seat!?!
Duh…Brandon is either a mad genius or a retard. Either way, since he left Canada he’s never evolved beyond either. Pick up any of his titles; from Slap Happy, to Baker’s Dozen to She’s Half My Age…same half-ass lighting, same shit bag apartment/hotel room, same crackhead looking female talent. Sure, every one in a while, he gets a honest-to-goodness hottie like Rachel Milan or Amy Ried in one of his circle-jerks, but for the most part, he gets a used up ‘whore’ like Ricki White in one of his useless pieces of filth.
If anyone is a new specials of human, it’s Brandon Iron.
“Come’on Mr. Dent! Whores are people with feelings just as much as you or me!”
Of course they are but their hability to supress those feelings for money is incredible.
They are not realy being paid for the sex, anyone can have sex, they are really paid to supress their feelings. And is a rare talent, that is were porn talent lies. That is what really diferences a whore from a civilian woman.
And yes, Brandon “Herpes” Iron is some sort of Canadian Mutation. LOL.
Anyone can have sex? Really? Are you sure about that…as there’s been many a porn chick (big and small, famous and infamous) who look so bad on camera, so lifeless, so dull and boring, that it was anyone’s surprise they managed to make a living fucking semi-random cocks.
The ones who are truly great, and are so recognized, walk the tightrope of displaying an intimate, yet secret, life. They show just enough emotion to achieve this and yet, not enough for everyone to truly know who they are and what they’re about.
So yes, professional whores are people with feelings just as much as anyone.
