South Dakota- Experts say what they found is prosecutable.

Citizens for Community Values has been investigating LodgeNet — a South Dakota-based satellite provider of pornographic movies to hotel chains. The campaign to reveal the truth about LodgeNet is gaining steam as legal experts come forward with their findings.

The LodgeNet campaign is an aggressive effort by the Ohio-based Citizens for Community Values to stop hotels from offering hard-core pornography in their rooms. Part of the effort includes a billboard in Sioux Falls, where the company’s headquarters is located, local radio spots, and a full-page newspaper ad.

The exposé is getting a hand from Robert Navarro, a private investigator and former member of the LAPD. To verify the claims against the entertainment corporation, he documented LodgeNet’s movie options during a recent stay at a major hotel chain. He found 110 porn films being offered.

“Very explicit,” he told Family News in Focus. “There was nothing left to the imagination. Everything was clearly visible. There was no storyline whatsoever. And they ranged from 20 minutes to an hour.”

Navarro added that “the material that I saw was consistent with the material that was prosecuted in the past on the federal level.”

Roger Young, a former FBI agent, said Navarro has enough evidence for law enforcement to consider an indictment against LodgeNet.

“There are a number of laws that could be utilized: for transporting obscene matter; for sale or distribution or engaging in the business of selling or transferring obscene matter,” he said.

Young said LodgeNet could drop the porn movies today. But if they choose not to, “They could leave themselves open to quite a legal battle and to possible prosecution and conviction and actual prison time.”
