The Mark Foley connection is classic political bullshit.
And yes, this is exactly a case for a first amendment lawyer, but not one with such a high profile defending legit adult porn. The ADULT biz has a hard enough time seperating itself from the underground world of CP.
Lousirkin defends max hardcore.
Lou Sirkin defends john stagliano
Lou Sirkin defends CHILDSUPERMODELS .com
For the adult biz to be associated with sites like this is not good for the legit adult industry.
As a voice for the adult biz, which Sirkin certainly is, it does the legit adult biz no favors for him to say that this exploitaion of children should be protected in the same way that ADULT content is protected. Mr. Sirkin is a "voice" of this industry, and when he says this content should be legal it is not good for the industry. He should have refused to take this case. There are plenty of lawyers who could defend these guys who do not have connections to the legit adult biz.
What does it say about the adult biz whern one of its most high profile attorneys defends the sexual exploitaion of children. I think it sends a very bad message, and it makes me question whether or not the legit adult industry is really that interested in stopping the exploitaion of children.
oops, Mr. Sirkin is not defending the exploitaion of children, he is defending someone accused of sexually exploiting children.
