Ira Isaacs, Adult Obscenity, California 2012

Guilty Verdict in Adult Obscenity Case

In a shocking turn of events, Ira Isaacs, 60, was found guilty of engaging in the business of producing and selling obscene videos and distributing obscene videos in Los Angeles, California. The verdict was delivered by a federal jury in the Central District of California on August 6, 2012.

The charges against Isaacs, who operated under the name L.A. Media, include one count of engaging in the business of producing and selling obscene videos and four counts of distributing obscene videos. The evidence presented at trial established that Isaacs operated numerous websites through which he advertised and sold obscene videos, including a video featuring a female engaging in sex acts involving human bodily waste and a video featuring a female engaging in sex acts with animals.

Isaacs' crimes were committed between 1999 and at least 2011. In 2004, he began operating under the name Stolen Car Films, making obscene videos that instructed women to engage in sexual activity involving human bodily waste. He subsequently advertised and sold the videos through his various websites.

The case was prosecuted by Trial Attorney Michael W. Grant and Deputy Chief Damon King of the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), with the assistance of Jeannette Gunderson, a trial attorney with the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section. The investigation was conducted by the FBI and Los Angeles Police Department.

Isaacs is scheduled to be sentenced on August 6, 2012. The exact outcome of the sentencing has yet to be determined.

The case serves as a reminder of the importance of holding individuals accountable for their crimes, particularly those that involve the exploitation and harm of others. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates on Isaacs' sentencing and any subsequent developments.
