How to Report Possible Violations of the Federal Obscenity Laws

A central plank in any program of citizen support for obscenity law enforcement is the submission of reports about possible violations of federal obscenity laws to your local United States Attorney, who is responsible for enforcement of the Federal obscenity laws.

To assist you in this, ObscenityCrimes.org has designed a Federal Obscenity Report Form (in MS Word format).

If you would like a copy of the Federal obscenity laws (18 USC 1460-1468; 47 USC 223), you can get it from the National Obscenity Law Center.

You will note that, with this form, you are not initiating a criminal prosecution. You are only making a report, exercising your right as a citizen to have the proper official investigate a possible violation of the law.

To find the name and address of your U.S. Attorney, go to the link on the Obscenity Enforcment page on the Morality in Media Web site. Send the original filled-out form to your U.S. Attorney, keep one copy for yourself, and send one copy to Morality in Media.

Please note the three-pronged test for obscenity that follows the words, "In My Opinion." In order to be found obscene, the material must meet all three tests.
