Not a case, but rather my dad's first and final legal task.

A physicist, and chemical engineer for most of his life, he went back to school for a law degree at the age of 48, and achieved it by 50. Patent law.

Shortly before getting the degree, he landed his first paid legal job. It was to watch 3 pornos and determine if any violated the "barely legal" status. As in, "Does it look like the girls are 18? Is there anything too explicit and/or inappropriate that indicates otherwise?" This is not the field he wanted to get into, haha; it was simply the only beginner's job he could land. He was also gay, if that matters.

So many troubles emerged, thanks to these dvds. I was living in his side apartment, attached to his house, as I attended college at the time. It was just the two of us. One time, when my 3 little brothers were visiting for the weekend (aged 13 - - 21), they dragged me upstairs with hands clamped over their mouths, suppressing giggles and shock. They brought me to the locked doors of his library/tv room, indicating I should listen. Porn sounds were booming out of it. I had to talk my brothers down, and explain.

That's just ONE of SEVERAL instances these dvds caused trouble. The man was brilliant, but completely absent-minded, never thinking to MAYBE PUT THEM AWAY WHEN OTHERS ARE VISITING?

The final time, was my dad's last laugh. At 50, not long after finishing the degree, he blew his brains out. Dead sober, and all of that. I found him in the basement. After the cops finished checking me for blood splatter, etc., they asked my help in opening an oversized safe that had come with the house when my dad bought it. What was in there? Just the barely legal porn, of course. I had a fun time explaining that one.
