Jury hears dad's suit against publisher of gay erotica
A Powell father and one-time "Big Brother" reality show contestant whose name wound up on a mailing list for gay sex publications is trying this week to convince a jury to punish the publisher because his then-12-year-old daughter got an unwanted eyeful sent to his home.
Jurors in U.S. District Judge Tom Varlan's courtroom likely will begin deliberations today in a civil lawsuit filed by Kent Blackwelder against Specialty Publications Inc., a California-based firm that publishes sexually explicit material including the gay magazine "Freshmen."
Blackwelder was cast in the second season of "Big Brother" in 2001. The show forces contestants from disparate backgrounds to share a house. Blackwelder was the token conservative. He was voted out midway through the season.
At issue in his lawsuit is the five seconds his daughter perused a mailer featuring photographs of naked men in erotic poses in May 2007 and its impact. He also accuses the publisher of violating regulations on how sexually explicit material should be packaged.
