Comic Book Store Manager Sentenced to 6 Months in Jail

News From TX on a guy who was convicted by a jury in August 2000 of \”display of obscenity\” for selling Demon Beast Invasion #2 to an adult. He was sentenced to 180 days in jail, a year\’s probation, and a $4,000 fine.

They say the original conviction was surprising. The store in question handled its adult materials carefully, with three display areas: its general display area, an 18 and up section in the back of the store, and explicit adult materials kept in a box behind the counter. Store employees also required proof of age before selling adult materials to younger customers.
