Classic Titles Pivotal in Virginia Obscenity Charge

Pheromoans, a recently opened adult store, along with owners Lesley Mason and Meagan Pacheco, have been indicted on three misdemeanor charges of violating the state's obscenity laws for selling classic titles Barely Legal Hotties, The Devil in Miss Jones and Deep Throat.

The Free Lance-Star reported that the indictments followed an investigation by Stafford detectives, who determined that the videos depicted graphic sexual relations that "have a dominant theme that which is prurient in nature and were without serious artistic, literary, political or scientific value."

The police were aided in their crime scene investigation by the fact that Deep Throat was used in a successful obscenity prosecution in Stafford 20 years ago.
