Post by MerlinI'm still having trouble determining exactly what Frank McCoy is
charged with and when he supposedly did it.
Can anyone spell it out for me?
Thanks
He is charged with a violation of Title 18, United States Code
§ 1462. Importation or transportation of obscene matters
Whoever brings into the United States, or any place subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, or knowingly uses any express company or other
common carrier or interactive computer service (as defined in section
230(e)(2) [1] of the Communications Act of 1934), for carriage in
interstate or foreign commerce--
(a) any obscene, lewd, lascivious, or filthy book, pamphlet, picture,
motion-picture film, paper, letter, writing, print, or other
matter of indecent character; or
(b) any obscene, lewd, lascivious, or filthy phonograph recording,
electrical transcription, or other article or thing capable of
producing sound; or
(c) any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or
intended for producing abortion, or for any indecent or immoral
use; or any written or printed card, letter, circular, book,
pamphlet, advertisement, or notice of any kind giving information,
directly or indirectly, where, how, or of whom, or by what means
any of such mentioned articles, matters, or things may be obtained
or made; or Whoever knowingly takes or receives, from such express
company or other common carrier or interactive computer service
(as defined in section 230(e)(2) [1] of the Communications Act of
1934) any matter or thing the carriage or importation of which is
herein made unlawful--
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five
years, or both, for the first such offense and shall be fined under
this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both, for each
such offense thereafter.
I believe the latter part of paragraph (c) is what they're charging him
"notice of any kind giving information, directly or indirectly,
where, how, of whom whom, or by what means any of such mentioned
articles, matters or things may be obtained or made;"
This is what they're charging him with, to cover links to the materials
that he has written.
