LOS ANGELES — from www.xbiz.com – A jury today found fetish filmmaker Ira Isaacs guilty on five counts of violating federal obscenity laws.

He’ll be sentenced on Aug. 6. It was the third obscenity trial for the distributor and producer, who all along has contended that the works he had been charged with have artistic value and can’t be deemed obscene. The first two ended with mistrials.

Isaacs said he was “disappointed” with the verdict, but had no further comment at post time.

AVN adds: Isaacs looked pensive as the jury filed into the courtroom shortly after 1 p.m., and was visibly shaken as the jury foreman read the “guilty” verdicts on the five counts, each of which could net him five years in (likely) a minimum security federal prison.

Isaac was indicted for his distribution of “Mako’s First Time Scat,” “Hollywood Scat Amateurs #7,” “Hollywood Scat Amateurs #1” and “Japanese Doggie 3 Way.”

A verdict was read about 1:15 p.m. on Friday. The jury took less than two hours to make its decision.

Both sides wrapped up testimony on Thursday, setting up for closing arguments made this morning.

Federal prosecutor Damon King said in the government’s closing statement that Isaacs’ goal in selling obscene material was solely to make money, but Isaacs’ attorney, Roger Jon Diamond, said in his closing statement that the case is about testing the First Amendment.
