Agents from the FBI inspected performers’ records at Legend Video this morning, its co-owner Bruce Mendelsohn confirmed today.
“The FBI arrived at 9 o’clock this morning and were very cordial and they asked to see the records for specific movies,” Mendelsohnl said.
“They brought their copy machine and made copies and after about three hours, they left.”
Mendelsohn said he provided the records requested by the agents who merely copied them without comment.
“They were respectful of our business and they did their job and that was it. We don’t put out anything at Legend without having the proper records,” he added.
The visit is just the latest in a number of visits paid by the FBI to adult video producers. This summer, agents inspected records at Sunshine Films, Diabolic Video and Robert Hill Releasing.
Under Section 2257 of Title 18, Part I, Chapter 110 of the United States Code, the producer of any book, magazine, video or film is required to keep records of anyone performing sexually explicit acts after July 3, 1995, such as their name and date of birth along with documents providing proof of such information, including other names the performer has used.
