this quote basically sums up the truth..

NO illegal acts were commited by Mr. McCowen. This was a clear case of DA abuse. All taxes were paid, all legal docs were in place and all requirements for opperating a 100% LEGAL adult content site were followed. No person under age of 18 was ever involved. In fact the judges summary states thet there were no grounds for any of the other charges brought against Mr McCowen. Some grey areas were infringed on by the employees, but all in all it came down to the DA's office bankrupting everyone involved and refusing to end this fiasco unless everyone pled to something. No details are listed about the "illegal wire transfer". No evidence at all making this a "deal" between the DA and the courts just to see this all go away. The statutes sugest an 8 to 10 months suspended sentence for this, but the DA's office threatened to proceed with it and tie up the court for months if there wasnt "heavy" punishment. Russ Edgar is a blight on this country and this state, as well as his profession!
