Legal Times: Old and New, Dwight Whorley Anime Obscenity Charges

Introduction to Legal Times: Old and New

From what I can understand this is a child pornography case related to anime, but also
including items with real children. It is a case that started a while back under the child PROTECT law of 2003. Read the United States Attorney's Office Press Releases, because it provides a better understanding of the case.
