Navarre Press, “The attempt to use the prostitution statutes to censor erotic movies has not been tried in Florida before.” However, Walters has noted in the past,

He said a court’s rejection of the state’s arguments in the current cases could result in significant additional protection for the adult entertainment industry in Florida, as well.
