Legal Question in Constitutional Law in New York

Re: porn litarature

This is a very broad questions; however, the basic answer is no. Of course, as you should know, there are different levels of pornography with none to severe consequence for possessing such material.

Re: porn litarature

Well, the general answer is "of course not--what would make you think so?" By specifying "written" porn, you are not including visual depictions here. A rule of thumb may be to think of who might be deemed victimized. If a child is filmed or photographed, that's an easy case of victimization, hence illegal. Not so with a written "story" or "fantasy." The one exception I can think of would be a convicted person on parole--it is conceivable that a condition of parole would be not possessing even written pornography, particularly involving children. In this situation, society may deem the "victim" to be a "potential" one, given the parolee's adjudicated dispositions.
