United States Ninth Circuit
Powell's Books, Inc. v. Kroger, 09-35153
In a First Amendment challenge to Oregon statutes criminalizing providing minors under the age of eighteen with visual, verbal, or narrative descriptions of sexual conduct for the purpose of sexually arousing the minor or the furnisher, or inducing the minor to engage in sexual conduct, a denial of a preliminary injunction for plaintiffs is reversed where the statutes on their face reached a significant amount of material that was not obscene as to minors, the statutes were unconstitutionally overbroad.
