Trial Set for Ray Guhn Case

PENSACOLA, Fla. - The Escambia County Circuit Court has set aside 14 days to hear the case of Ray Guhn (aka Clinton McCowen) beginning May 5, 2008.

 

Guhn faces up to 90 years in prison on obscenity, racketeering and money-laundering charges stemming from his arrest on June 23, 2006.  

 

Guhn and his attorneys say the racketeering allegations are alarming because they are based on claims that the content in question is obscene and that actors who are paid to perform in adult material are prostitutes.

 

They also maintain that the First Amendment applies equally to everyone, including citizens working in the adult industry, regardless of geography. Circuit Court Judge Ron Swanson ruled in October that the community standards of a four-county area will be used in determining whether videos Guhn produced are obscene.
