<snip>
and her husband, Warren Taylor, were jailed Friday night after a deputy spent three months investigating porn videos the couple made at home and sold online, arrest reports say.

Theresa Taylor was set to be released Saturday night after posting $7,500 bail. Warren Taylor remained jailed.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office began investigating Theresa Taylor, 55, in March after receiving tips that she was making and distributing porn from her home at 926 S. Lakeshore Blvd., her arrest report said.

An investigator paid the initial $19.95 membership fee to her website, kimberlykupps.com, where he found videos of Theresa Taylor having sex with men and women, as well as offering some of the clothes she wore in the videos for sale.

Another fine day for Polk County Sheriff and Moral Crusader Grady Judd. Love how it took 3 months for a deputy to "investigate" the videos. No children were involved, no human trafficking, everyone involved was a fully consenting adult from all indications.

1. Is this illegal? And if so, why?

4. Obscenity

It's the rationale used by extremist officials to close down adult businesses. I remember several years ago here in Orlando, an elderly couple was arrested for operating a video store with one of those back rooms where you could rent or buy naughty movies.

12. even in your own home? or is it just the selling of it?

i wonder how many make home video pornos there. just an odd waste of time

2. Florida is looking like a christian fundy police state

3. Fuck them.

5. Looks like a textbook case for some jury nullification

That is, if the defense can keep fundies off of the jury.

6. America loves porn and "obsenties" but

for some reason we don't like talking about them. Hell in a college sexuality class I took last semester, there are still people who snicker at "sex words" or pictures.

7. Look up Grady Judd.

His sheriff's department has an ongoing porn sting that actually draws people to the county.
He's the one who arrested the atheist for making sex noises inside her home.

10. According to her site, she's originally from Wyckoff, New Jersey

Tee hee.

13. Der Kommissar's in Town......

That's some scary shite.

14. Read the angry comments about this at the link. They call out the...

Bible Thumpers, and say it is madness. People are really mad about this. Law enforcement is getting out of hand here in their morality based arrests.

15. How compelling of an interest is liberty?

Damn Fascists.

16. Get real....

They were not charging Sales Tax....

:silly:

17. Looks like getting rid of Mary Beth Buchanan wasn't enough

There seems to be plenty of these fascists at the state level.

18. Where are they SUPPOSED to make it - the city park?

[hifiguy]

19. I take it that there are no robberies, burglaries,

vandalism, speeders, or anything else in this county? Presumably that's why these asshat Keystone Kops have the time to be investigating utterly harmless things like this. :eyes:
