- Written by Darius Dehghan, JD
Facts
Harold Freeman (defendant) paid actors to perform sexual acts in a film. Although the sexual acts depicted in the film were explicit, the film was not determined to be obscene. The government (plaintiff) charged Freeman with pandering, which was defined as recruiting people for the purpose of prostitution. The trial court convicted Freeman, and the court of appeal affirmed. Freeman appealed to the California Supreme Court.
