Yes, I'm sure the subject of sure stories is abhorrent to many of you.
But how many of you read or write stories that involve under 18 characters? Or other practices and activities that the general public is apt to find obscene?
Heck, I've *written* stories involving underage sex, as well as kids doing other things that are objectionable to many. I just had it being kid on kid. And I've been accused of being a pedophile by folks who wouldn't even bother to find out anything other than that there were underage characters and sex.
So the main differences between my websites and hers are that mine doesn't charge and isn't well known.
Yeah, there are a lot of *details* that are different. But do you really think that'd make a difference if the feds decided to take *me* to court?
BTW, I think visited the site in question once or twice. And the stuff they are going after the owner for is the most extreme content on the site. I remember it as a spanking story site and one used by age players.
I'll also note that while the article doesn't say anything about it, I'd bet that they'll eventually invoke the RICO laws (as they've done in other recent obscenity cases) to confiscate everything the owner has and all her money besides. Sort of hard to defend yourself with no money or assets.
