No End In Sight For 2257 Inspections

Chatsworth, CA--According to a report by Mark Kerns in Adult Video News, Robert Hill Releasing has become the third company in 10 days subjected to the FBI's ongoing 2257 record keeping investigation.

Robert Hill Releasing owner Lynton told AVN that agents showed up at his office and began verifying the ages of performers from apparently random titles in their extensive specialty catalog. The agents did not show Lynton a warrant.

"They just showed their badges and indicated what they were here for," Lynton said.

Preliminary reports have suggested that the FBI has compiled a list of up to 23 adult video companies who they intend to investigate over the next several weeks or even months. Lynton told AVN that agents said they expect established adult companies to be in compliance with the federal record keeping laws.

"Ours are in order, as far as we can tell," Lynton said. "Everything seems to be going as smooth as possible right now. The gentlemen weren't coming in here busting doors down. They were very pleasant. They brought their copy machines and they're copying IDs and all of the paperwork."
