JUNE 19--In what may be the filthiest criminal complaint ever filed, federal prosecutors have charged a pair of Ohio businessmen with selling obscene movies via their web site. According to a complaint unsealed last Thursday in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, the FBI last year launched an undercover probe of Movies by Mail, a Cleveland business owned by brothers Sami and Michael Harb. After placing an online order, Agent Martin Schwarz received a package containing 'pornographic DVDs and fourteen condoms.' As Schwarz noted in the complaint, he is a Utah resident 'familiar with the community standards' of the ultra-conservative state. As such, the agent concluded that a trio of DVDs he reviewed were obscene. 'None of the three films has a plot line. The films consist entirely of scenes of hard core sexual acts being performed by multiple men and women,' Schwarz reported. Then the G-man provided a graphic recap of each film, two of which featured Paul Little (a/k/a Max Hardcore), who himself was named last month in a ten-count federal obscenity indictment. Be warned, as described by Schwarz, the goings on in titles like 'Extreme Associates: Cocktails 5' are not for the squeamish (though the X-rated action is the daily province of smut busters assigned to the FBI's National Adult Obscenity Initiative Task Force).
