cwfa.org White Collar Pornography Exposed Porn’s product, position and ruin revealed By Sara E. Weltz November 1, 2002 A large number of Americans are unknowingly investing in pornography, including hard-core pornography, which is prosecutable, according to Jan LaRue, chief counsel for Concerned Women for America (CWA), through … LaRue recently released a report on the white-collar pornography industry, which includes the following corporations and their estimated profits from pornography: She, didn’t know if the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) would file indictments against any of these companies. “I hope [DOJ] does, if the corporations don’t stop. But I think the American people and shareholders putting the pressure on the corporate officials … [will end white collar porn].“ CWA has acted by sending letters to CEO’s of all the corporations named above, asking them to “place the welfare of kids and families above profits of trafficking pornography.” In addition to CWA, the press conference highlighting Pornography Awareness Week was sponsored by the Maryland Coalition Against Porn (MCAP) and Morality in Media (MIM). Rashida Jolley, Miss DC 2000, also spoke. “Dr. William Marshall Kingston of the Ontario Sexual Offenders Clinic found that 86 percent of rapists admitted regular use of pornography” — and many offenders admit viewing pornography just before their attacks. Janice Nairn, MCAP board member, said, “Many pornographers deliberately target kids, … many of whom are becoming hooked for life.” Not only does pornography breed sexual offenders, but it is reaching to swallow America’s youth as well. Pat Trueman, spokesman for MIM and its new Web site (obscenitycrimes.org), addressed Internet pornography as the predator that is slashing at America’s children. Trueman said, “Most people don't know what to do about that. Call their local police? No, they're not going to do something about it because they're not trained. Do you call your local attorney's office? No, because they don't have the resources to go after the company that violated your children’s rights. But the United States Justice Department can.” “The U.S. DOJ has 93 U.S. attorneys around our country,” said Trueman. “They are the chief law enforcement officers in those 93 districts (into which the United States is divided). There's a U.S. attorney to prosecute in your area. Most people wouldn't know what to do, but through obscenitycrimes.org they can do something about it.” By using obscenitycrimes.org to post the pornography site address and where it was presented, Americans file a report that is presented to the U.S. attorney for their district. At least one U.S. attorney has expressed great concern and willingness to prosecute. All speakers indicated that pornography is a disease plaguing America’s freedom and safety. Because it has been accepted for so long, LaRue said, “Much of the public, like corporate leaders, mistakenly assume that if [pornography] is widely available it must be legal. Drug dealers know better.” “Providing products that insult women consumers and shareholders by promoting so-called ‘adult entertainment’ that calls women ‘sluts’, ‘whores,’ ‘bimbos,’ and reduces us to nothing but sexualized body parts is offensive,” said LaRue. “People who are offended by these heretofore respected corporate giants’ involvement in pornography should let these companies know how they feel.”
