Obscenity Charge Vs. Texas Woman Dropped
Obscenity Charge Dropped Against Texas Woman Who Hosts Tupperware-Style
Parties to Sell Sex Toys
The Associated Press
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/US/ap20040717_1545.html
CLEBURNE, Texas July 17, 2004 - An obscenity charge has been dropped
against a woman who received nationwide attention when she was arrested for
selling two sex toys to undercover police officers posing as a couple.
A judge dismissed the case against Joanne Webb, Johnson County
Attorney Bill Moore said Friday in a statement. He said he asked the judge
for the dismissal to prevent wasting county resources, but didn't say when
the dismissal occurred.
No one answered the phone at Moore's office Saturday morning.
Webb, a former fifth-grade teacher, started selling erotic toys and
other adult products last year. The Passion Parties Inc. consultant hosts
what she calls Tupperware-type parties for suburban housewives who feel
more comfortable buying marital aids in a private home than at an adult
bookstore or on the Internet.
Webb was arrested Nov. 13, about a month after the undercover
officers approached her at her husband's business in Burleson, about 10
miles south of Fort Worth, and bought two products. Had she been convicted
of violating Texas' obscenity law, she could have been sentenced to a year
in jail.
Webb's attorney, BeAnn Sisemore, said she and her client are pleased
with the dismissal.
"We knew that it was a possibility, but we weren't contacted," she
told the Cleburne Times-Review for its Sunday edition.
According to the state's obscenity code, an obscene device is a
simulated sexual organ or an item designed to stimulate the genitals. Adult
stores get around the law by posting signs that say "sold only as
novelties."
Moore said a pending federal lawsuit filed by Sisemore would
determine the constitutionality of the obscenity statute Webb was accused
of violating.

We have had "Ann Summers"(A supplier of 'Adult products') parties in
the UK, for years.
They are "girls only" affairs, where the old man is chucked out to the
pub for the evening, the girls get together in the living room, drink
a couple of bottles of Vin Cheapo, and then buy a load of expensive,
erotic underwear, which they are too shy to wear in front of their
husbands.
Where is the harm?
