My earlier note about Mike Barbella being arrested on a kiddie porn charge prompted this posting on www.xxxporntalk.com:

bingoo writes: Perhaps he can get Lou Sirkin to defend him. Lou Sirkin, the beloved first ammendment attorney is currently defending the operators of “WEBE WEB’.

Webe Web is a group of websites under the banner CHILDSUPERMODELS.COM. These pay sites feature gi[r]ls as young as seven and eight years old, dressed in lingere, stockings, high heels, bikinis,etc., in provacative poses. While these sites do not contain nudity there is no doubt that this is the sexual expoloitation of children. Lou Sirkin says…”The images are open to interpetation.”

Is it good for this industry to have one of its most well known attorneys defending the sexual exploitation of children?

And why has NO other adult “newsite’ ever mentioned that the beloved Mr. Sirkin is defending these scumbags who sexually expoit CHILDREN. I thought this industry was all against the sexual expoitaion of children.

Good luck Mr. Barbella. If youre guilty may you rot in hell.

Mike “Pornlaw” Fattorosi, www.adultbizlaw.com responds: Those accused of crimes have the Constitutional right to a defense attorney.

I cannot fault Sirkin for taking a case. However, we recently had a chance to defend someone that was accused of CP and I turned down the case precisely for the reasons mentioned above.

Its a tough call as an attorney…

Bingoo responds: Pornlaw, Yours was the response I was hoping to see. Glad to hear that you had the “wisdom,” for lack of a better term, to turn down that client. Yes, everyone has the right to an attorney,but like you stated, that doesn not mean that any attorney has to take any case.

In my opinion it is a travestry that one of the ADULT industies best known attorneys decided to defend the sexual exploitation of children.

How many adult companies will refuse to work with Mr. Sirkin in the future? Would you, as a producer of ADULT content, want someone known for defending the sexual expoitation of children as your attorney?

And again, why has no other newsite reported this? No need to answer. It is because ther are NO real journalists in porn, andnone of you even knew about this. Now that you do know, will anyone step forward and call out Mr. Sirkin regarding the client HE CHOOSES to defend?
