Florida AG Asks for Halt of AV Lawsuit Pending SCOTUS Decision

Florida AG Asks for Halt of AV Lawsuit Pending SCOTUS Decision

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a motion asking a federal court to halt the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) lawsuit challenging HB 3, the state’s age verification law, pending the Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on a similar lawsuit in Texas.

The motion requests that the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida stay the lawsuit while still allowing HB 3 to take effect on Jan. 1.

“Nor would a stay, which would permit HB 3 to go into effect on January 1, be unfair to Plaintiffs,” Moody writes in her motion. “Both the Fifth Circuit and the Supreme Court have allowed Texas’s statute to remain in effect while the Supreme Court is considering its constitutionality.”

Adult industry attorney and First Amendment expert Corey D. Silverstein, who filed an amicus brief in the Texas case, Free Speech Coalition et al. v. Paxton, on behalf of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, told XBIZ that granting the motion would amount to weaponizing the FSC lawsuit against adult sites operating in Florida by allowing the state to penalize them without due process.

“It’s absurd,” Silverstein said. “What the attorney general is doing is, she’s trying to take advantage of the situation. The appropriate thing to be done here would be for the parties to agree on a temporary injunction against HB 3 as well as staying the lawsuit until such time as the Supreme Court issues its Texas decision. She wants to have her cake and eat it too.”

Silverstein added that if the motion were passed without an injunction against the law, it could create a separate due process violation.

“Florida lawmakers are ignoring the constitution, just as in other states that have passed these laws, as well as ignoring existing case precedent that these laws are unconstitutional,” he said.

Moody is one of several state attorneys general that filed amicus briefs with the Supreme Court supporting Texas AG Ken Paxton. The Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments for the Texas case on Jan. 15.

As XBIZ reported, the ramifications of HB 3 are already being felt, with Aylo set to geo-block Pornhub in Florida on Jan. 1.

FSC declined to comment as the case is in active litigation.

Bree Mills Makes Her Wicked Directorial Debut

MONTREAL — Gamma Film Group/Adult Time CCO Bree Mills has made her Wicked Pictures directorial debut with the studio’s latest feature, titled “Breadcrumbs.”

The title stars Lexi Luna and Seth Gamble, alongside Melissa Stratton, Siri Dahl, and Emma Hix.

“‘Breadcrumbs’ centers on the real-life challenges of balancing love and family, a departure from the typical family roleplay fantasies often seen in adult films,” said a rep. “With Mills’ signature storytelling style, the film delves into themes of emotional and digital disconnection, communication, and the strain of modern-day parenting on intimacy.”

Mills elaborated on the premise.

“For my first film for Wicked, I wanted to explore a subject close to my heart and one I believe resonates deeply with many of our fans — the challenges of balancing relationships and intimacy as a busy parent,” she said. “‘Breadcrumbs’ delves into the modern-day struggles of digital and emotional disconnection in relationships, highlighting the importance of honest communication while examining the complexities of love and identity.”

Added Luna, “This was my first lead role in a feature, and I was able to develop the character much more than I can in independent scenes. I channeled real emotion in dialogue, and it was a new and exciting experience for me thanks to Bree’s direction.”

Gamble, the reigning XBIZ Performer of the Year, enthused about working with Mills.

“I can’t say enough how much I appreciate Bree for the opportunities she’s always given me to execute,” he said. “Getting to see how awesome we all worked behind the scenes together was something, and I cannot wait till everybody gets to see ‘Breadcrumbs’ and for Wicked members to get to experience a Bree Mills film.”

“Breadcrumbs” is streaming on Wicked.
