Feds Raid the Max Hardcore Office in Obscenity Probe
On October 5, 2005, Federal officers from the Department of Justice raided the offices of Max World Entertainment.
The agents had a warrent for, and removed, five specific video titles as well as the office computers.
No charges have been filed.
Max Hardcore was out of the country at the time of the raid attending a trade show in Barcelona, Spain. He has since returned and has continued production of his movies.
Max released the following statement through his attorney:
“Once again, the government is wasting tax dollars and otherwise invaluable law enforcement resources to try to force a minority view of morality on all of America. Five of my movies have been targeted by the Federal Prude Patrol. There is no indication of any crime to be alleged except obscenity. If indicted, I will fight to protect my liberty, as well as the liberty of consenting adults to watch other adults engage in lawful, consensual, pleasurable sexual action. Shame on the Bush Department of Justice. I am proud of the movies I make and proud of those who buy and sell those movies.”
