So the Rob Lowe video is "vintage?" Christ, does that make me feel old.

This topic is just coming up in this group!? When I turned on the TV
yesterday morning, some knowledgeable guy (CNN wouldn't invite anyone
less than an expert on the subject to discuss a topic) was talking
about this case. (I didn't mention it yesterday because I've been
offline for the holiday period and I thought a.g.c.'ers may have
already discussed Pee Wee's case to death.) Some of the CNN
interviewee's key points:
* The L.A. DA began investigating Paul Reubens when a teenage boy, who
was later discredited, brought an allegation against Pee Wee.
* The DA has sat on this case until just before the statute of
limitations to bring a charge expires.
* Investigators found vintage child porn in Reubens' house, but since
the material was legal when it was made, it can't be used as evidence.
(My question not addressed by Paula Zahn: Does this mean that "old
child porn" was grandfathered in when Congress passed the child porn
law?)
* Since the only other porn item featuring a minor that Reubens
possessed was a copy of the Rob Lowe video, prosecutors have decided
to run with it as their sole piece of admissable evidence.
* The implication is that *anyone* who got a copy of the Rob Lowe sex
video, for whatever reason, is liable for prosecution on child porn
charges. (One girl in the Lowe video was 16 years old at the time.)

That's also what they cautioned to anyone possessing the tape featuring
R. Kelly and the underage girl.

I'm so glad the DA is using our tax dollars to get their faces
on TV by prosecuting viscious criminals like Paula Poundstone,
Winona Ryder and Pee Wee Herman. If they had been
non-famous, would a dime have been spent pursuing them?
And they wonder why no one has any respect for the system.
What?? All of these people did different illegal things. Why shouldn't
they be prosecuted?
We all know what Ryder did and it was illegal and she should have been
punished. I think mentioning what she did for Polly Klass' family as being
self-serving was absolutely vile though.
Poundstone was driving drunk with children in her car - absolutely wrong.
Nevermind they never said what the lewd thing was that she did.
And if Pee Wee does indeed have child porn, you bet he should be prosecuted.
I don't care what the photos or videos are, or how old they are.

Traci Lords. Yes, it is illegal to own and/or sell her early videos now. The
child porn law was in effect when those movies were made.

Of course. For every Paula, Winona & Pee Wee, there are hundreds of John
& Jane Does having prosecutorial dimes spent on them every single day.
Joe Average doesn't rate the media time because he's a nobody.

People don't respect the system because they don't understand the
system.
Which is sad because people who like porn aren't criminals. If everyone
who ever jerked off to porn was considered a child pornographer without
proof.............well, that's just scary.

I understand it perfectly. What's to respect?

Yes.. I can't help it, I like Pee Wee. I hope all this is just being blown
out of proportion.

Anyway, the Rob Lowe film is more nostalgia than "vintage" but it's
still in the realm of the collectable because it was in the news at
the time.
By the way Something Weird Video has a lot of 70s porn, and some older
than that. I don't think they list it on their site, but they have a
real nice catalog you can send away for. I have several of their
titles, and the quality and packaging are very nice.
The one Rob Lowe tape (showing him only with one woman) was standard
video fare in a lot of the bars around town here. I heard about the
stolen camcorder story, didn't know there was a *second* tape
circulating around.
But the big winner in all this was the downtown Atlanta Hilton where all
this happened----people started calliing reservations, asking to book
"the Rob Lowe suite"!

There is a new category name for it: Pre-Condom Videos. Apparently, it's
quite popular...
Don't know why they call them pre-condom, though. After the initial
AIDS scare, I can't remember the last time I saw a condom in an X
rated video.

I have heard that straight videos sometimes use condoms, but they're a
special brand that doesn't show up on video. Not sure if this is true
or not.
I still love the old movies. The women looked good but they looked
like normal good looking women you'd see anywhere. They didn't look
like these clones you see today with their silicone tits, etc. etc.

And I've heard about people who are incredibly gullible...
