Max Hardcore In Prison

In 2007, Little and his company, Max World Entertainment, Inc., were indicted in Florida by the United States Department of Justice Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section with five counts of transporting obscene matter by use of an interactive computer service and five counts of mailing obscene matter, relating to five movies[16][17] showing fisting, urination and vomiting.[18] Little was subsequently found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 46 months in prison.[18][19] On appeal, the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta, Georgia upheld the conviction, ruling that materials published online can be judged by local community standards in Florida even though Hardcore did not live there or produce the materials there.[20] Little began serving his sentence on January 29, 2009.[21][22]

Paul F. Little, 50, was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, the U.S. Department of Justice announced. In addition to the prison term, Judge Susan Bucklew ordered Little to pay a $7,500 fine and to forfeit all profits from the distribution of the films he was convicted of distributing. In addition, Little must give up the films and the domain names he used to distribute them, the DOJ said.

Of course, even in the wild, wild world of porn, if you play with fire enough times, you're bound to get burned, and in 2008, in Tampa, Florida, Little was found guilty of distributing obscene material over the internet and through the US mail and sentenced to 46 months in prison. At the time, most journalists and bloggers saw Little as a victim -- a man whose freedom of pornographic expression had been labeled criminal by the US government. In response, I wrote a post about the very hardcore realities of a Hardcore movie. [Warning: This post contains graphic language.]

Eventually, he ended up at La Tuna Federal Correctional Institution in Anthony, Texas. Occasionally, I thought about writing him a letter asking if he'd let me interview him if I made the trip to Anthony, but I never did. I wondered if it was wrong that a man was imprisoned for making adult movies featuring consenting adults, or if Little was somebody who pushed the envelope one too many times and had to deal with the consequences.

Last year, I received an email from a journalist who was working on a story about Little. He was interested in interviewing me for the story because he had gone to see Little in prison. Apparently, Little had gone on a rant about a journalist who had written something about him, something that had enraged him. As it turned out, that story was mine, the aforementioned post on my blog, which, I assumed, he had read before he had gone to prison. Somehow, I had come to symbolize for Little all that he hated: the person who would not give him a pass to let him do whatever he wanted, no matter the cost.

Then, yesterday, I got the tweet that Little had been released. For months, I'd heard rumors he was out already. I called the Bureau of Prison's Public Information Office, where a man confirmed, yes, Little had been released from La Tuna in January to a halfway house in Long Beach, California. As of July 19, he was a free man. I asked the man if Little had been a good prisoner, but the man was unable to say. For the next 36 months, Little will be under court-ordered supervision, although the man would not say what the details of Little's parole are.

A US District Court in Florida has sentenced "extreme shock porn" gonzo director and distributor Max Hardcore, aka Paul F. Little, to four years in prison over obscenity charges. Writing for Salon, Glenn Greenwald wrote that he believes the verdict is a blow to first amendment rights:

"So, to recap, in the Land of the Free: if you're an adult who produces a film using other consenting adults, for the entertainment of still other consenting adults, which merely depicts fictional acts of humiliation and degradation, the DOJ will prosecute you and send you to prison for years. The claim that no real pain was inflicted will be rejected; mere humiliation is enough to make you a criminal. But if government officials actually subject helpless detainees in their custody to extreme mental abuse, degradation, humiliation and even mock executions long considered "torture" in the entire civilized world, the DOJ will argue that they have acted with perfect legality and, just to be sure, Congress will hand them retroactive immunity for their conduct. That's how we prioritize criminality and arrange our value system."

Watching Little's work is less like watching a porn movie than it is akin to witnessing a vivisection. On the screen, Hardcore bends over the female bodies before him, sometimes with speculum in hand, as if attempting to get at something within her at which he can never quite get, and so to which he is doomed to return, his methods more and more hardcore.

Hardcore spent almost exactly two years in one federal prison or another, during which time he took courses to rid him of his overindulgence in booze; then six months in the halfway house, where he had to regain his freedoms little by little.

"But I really got a lot of different interesting perspectives on life by being in there, by looking at life through other people's lives, and I realized that some of the things I was sure about, I was more sure of, I was more positive I was doing the right thing, and other things, I learned in prison to change my way of thinking, to help people more and to be more open-minded, to have more humility, more objectivity, be more caring and have more gratitude. And that's my goal right now: I want to see what I can do to help people, because I discovered, the more I help people, the more I help myself."

On appeal, the only issue on which Max prevailed was his challenge on one point assessed by the trial judge at sentencing for income earned over $30,000 from the obscene material. A PACER review shows that the resulting 2011 resentencing resulted in 41 months in prison versus the original 46 months in prison. U.S. v. Little, Case No. 8:07-CR-170-T-24MSS (M.D. Fla.).

Rape is an inflammatory word, especially with respect to the adult industry. Actual depiction of rape may result in an obscenity trial and a prison term for the videomaker. Pornographers such as Max get around the rape issue by ensuring that at some point the female starlet verbally consents to whatever is going on. A typical Max Hardcore scene looks like a rape. A girl is pursued and captured. She cringes and cowers; Max yanks her by the pigtails and slaps her around. But it is not rape, because she tells us it isn't. Images battle with words. Turn the sound down, and it is a rape.

Depending on your perspective, Max Hardcore is either a champion of free speech or one of the most reviled men in the porn industry (second only, perhaps, to Khan Tusion, the director of the infamous Meat Holes and Rough Sex series, etc. - to read about him click here - it's brutal, so heads-up). Max Hardcore did a 4-year stint in prison for breaking American obscenity laws. He is also very successful; in other words, his content sells.

Rob @RobGPerez Perez and Alexander @ebertofsmut Espinoza of XCritic.com sit down with Max Hardcore. Hardcore speaks about his return to the industry after serving prison time and what's next for 2012.

Here is how Max Hardcore makes his living: He rams his cock into women's mouths until they vomit, and then he sells videos of the encounters. He sells other videos, too, videos that feature his signature contribution to the world of hardcore pornography: a flexible rubber tube that allows women to suck from their own asses the semen or urine he has just deposited there, often very roughly. Are you turned on yet? Hardcore has been accused (but not convicted) of raping a British porn star named Felicity. He also has been accused of misogyny, a charge that seems apt given that many of his videos feature him shouting degrading insults at the women (often dressed as schoolgirls, complete with pigtails and hairless vaginas) who appear in his films. He describes himself as "an American original" and a leader in the field of "sexual mistreatment," and in addition to his novel use of rubber tubing, he claims both to have pioneered the practice of "anal gaping" and to be at the vanguard of "the misuse of medical speculums."

And still more ironically, this month top Bush administration officials have been fiercely lobbying against a move by Senator John McCain to outlaw any further torture of prisoners held by the United States, with Vice President Dick Cheney emerging as the most prominent and passionate administration defender of torture. Meanwhile, American conservatives have responded positively to Gonzales's move to curtail the sadistic porn available to Americans, with the Family Research Council announcing "a growing sense of confidence in our new attorney general" as a result of the new obscenity squad.

Alaina Hicks filed a lawsuit May 7 in the Cook County Circuit Court against Paul F. Little, Film West Production and Maxhardcoretv.com, alleging appropriation of her identity, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Little, according to the suit, is a California resident who runs an internet video service and for-pay website that distributes videos produced by him and Film West Production on its website Maxhardcoretv.com. The suit claims he sentenced to prison on obscenity charges in 2008 in Florida and is frequently depicted in his films degrading women.

Just two hours outside of Denver, in the parched Rocky Mountain foothills, sits the highest-security prison in America. Its official name is the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility, but everyone calls it the ADX. The ADX in Florence, Colorado, is the one and only federal "Supermax" prison, home to the most dangerous and escape-prone inmates in federal lockup. 2ff7e9595c
