Almost 3 years in prison for selling "Nipple piercing" video on website
"DALLAS - Clarence Thomas Gartman and his partner (and brother-in-law) Brent Alan McDowell were sentenced in federal court in Dallas Thursday to, respectively, 34 and 30 months in prison, after having been found guilty in a five-day trial in March for having mailed obscene material and "aiding and abetting." Additionally, Gartman was found guilty of conspiracy to mail obscene material.
The case revolves around a retail website, forbiddendreams.com, in which Gartman allegedly had ownership. The Justice Department charged that Gartman, McDowell and another defendant had shipped a video known as BVM 24 across state lines, and that the video was allegedly obscene. The video depicted nipple piercing, but not explicit sex.
The sentences were handed down by Judge Barefoot Sanders of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, based on a sentencing hearing which had recommended that Gartman be sentenced consistent with level 26 of the federal sentencing guidelines, which would have resulted in a sentence in excess of five years.
