Obscenity Case Touches Macon Bookstores
Macon Ga AP The Joy of Sex sales lead to the arrest of Ken Moffett the only person charged nationwide with distributing obscene literature. He was bound over to state court freed on a 300 dollar bond after an anonymous complaint triggered the case. The incident prompted Simon and Schuster officials to visit Macon and influenced local obscenity handling. Moffett notes the book shows the act of sex but denies pornographic intent.
