Porn Found On L.A. Obscenity Case Judge's Website
Stanislav_J writes "In a bizarre revelation, the judge who is presiding over the Isaacs obscenity trial in Los Angeles was found to have sexually explicit material on a publicly-accessible website. Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledged that he had posted the materials, but says he believed the site to be for personal storage only, and not accessible to the public (though he does acknowledge sharing some of the material with friends). The files included images of masturbation, public sex, contortionist sex, a transsexual striptease, a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows, and a video of a half-dressed man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal. The latter two are especially ironic in that the trial involves the distribution of allegedly obscene sexual fetish videos depicting bestiality, among other things, by Ira Isaacs, an L.A. filmmaker."
Stanislav_J continues:
"The judge has blocked public access to the site (putting up a graphic that reads, 'Ain't nothin' here — y'all best be movin' on, compadre').
Isaacs' defense had welcomed the assignment of Kozinski to the case because of his long record of defending the First Amendment, but the startling news about his website (the revelation of which seems to have been interestingly timed to coincide with today's scheduled opening arguments) now have many folks calling for him to be removed from the case. There is no indication that any of the images on Kozinski's site would be considered obscene or illegal. But certainly, one has to believe that most would consider this at the very least to represent a serious conflict of interest given the nature of the trial."

Now with animal acts.

I would certainly want judge Kozinski presiding over my case. Just as if the RIAA was on my case I would want a judge who was familiar with and used bittorrent.
Tsk, tsk. Bad submitter. How could you have posted this without the URL? I mean... we need to be able to judge the material for ourselves, right?

If you are a judge presiding over a case involving the illegal distribution of fetish porn, you should probably take down your own web site illegally distributing fetish porn first.
This is going to provide great fodder for all the comedy shows and FOX News. Especially considering the judge was telling jurors that there were about 4 hours of video and he'd be watching it with them since it's part of his job.

I find that America will be better off when we soon realize that we as adults are children afraid of our own sexual fantasies and the most important action we must take is to simply act as if the naughty naughty doesnt happen. That way we can legally penalize anyone that dares enjoy sex in ways we ourselves wished we could. This judge clearly has a sexual organ, and i move to have him removed from the bench and the legal justice system as we know it. What will the world think of us, when they find out this judge enjoys sex! WHAT i ask you?
Oh yeah... and dont forget... We do not wipe our own asses... that is dirty.

Y'know... every time I come across the acronym IANAL, I have the same thought. It's particularly apt in a thread about pornography.

There are easier ways to get free porn than to post on slashdot and get lots of goatse or who knows what.
So following your example, I've never had anyone send me money out of the blue to my paypal account.
Hahaha, I see what you did there!
Well, I guess I'm a prude!
I came here hoping someone would post a link to a woman painted like a cow on all fours.
Until I heard about it I had no desire to see this... but now I must.. and I will not rest until I see this bovine sirine. Her tempting moo-call beckons me!
Oh.. and yes, you're a fuckin prude.
I thought it was because everyone had simply seen everything, but I was apparently wrong. Can someone please forward me the cow-woman?

Someone cache the website before it's too late!
Can't you post some links or something?
I'd post my email address, but I'm worried that people might fill up my inbox with something other than beastiality porn.

I know I saw the pic years ago, but I had a bitch of a time Googling it.
This is the picture you want. It is almost certainly the pic on the judge's computer. Two women on all fours, body-painted like cows. They are completely nude and the camera angle is from behind, so it's extremely NSFW.
And while I'm at it, pictures one and two of individual nude women pained like cows. I suspect the bodyart in all three pics is from a single artist (notice the distinctive black collar on the wrists/ankles/neck, the bare-nipple holes, and the similar spot patterning).
And what the hell while I'm at it... during the cow search I came across a collection of 12 photos of women from PETA protesting the treatment of circus animals - the women are all caged, nearly nude, and painted like tigers. I think I'm going to have to start attending PETA rallies - apparently almost all PETA women are either really hot or really cute.
