Red Rose Stories closed by FBI

Online erotic stories host Red Rose Stories announced on its site Friday that the FBI had forced it to shut down. According to a posting on the site's main page, Red Rose Stories is facing obscenity charges for posting stories that allegedly involved bestiality, water sports, scat, bondage and domination, S&M, slavery, threesomes, orgies and sex with children. According to Rosie, who runs the site, such topics have opened the door to her prosecution. "Trust me on this. I found out the hard way. I never thought I'd be in trouble for the written word," Rosie told XBiz via email. "I had no pictures of a sexual nature on my site, adult or otherwise. (It seems) the only legal sex stories are those that involve a man and a woman consenting to missionary position sex in a dark room." Rosie said officials came to her house when she was not home and seized a number of items. [...]

News of the site's closure comes just days after the offices of Max Hardcore's Max World Entertainment were raided under the authority of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Justice Department, and little more than a week after the FBI launched an anti-obscenity squad at the behest of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to increase obscenity prosecutions throughout the country.
