INDIANAPOLIS — Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and several industry stakeholders filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on Monday, aiming to block the state’s age verification law.

FSC released a statement noting that in addition to challenging the merits of Indiana’s SB 17, the plaintiffs have requested an expedited preliminary injunction before the law goes into effect July 1.

As XBIZ reported, Indiana’s Republican governor, Eric Holcomb, signed SB 17 into law in March. The law was authored by Republican Sen. Mike Bohacek as the state’s copycat version of the age verification bills being sponsored around the country by anti-porn religious conservative activists, and it requires age verification for material that Indiana deems “harmful to minors.”

According to the plaintiffs, SB 17 violates the First, Fifth, Eighth and 14th Amendments, as well as Section 230, Courthouse News reported.

“Despite impinging on the rights of adults to access protected speech, it fails strict scrutiny by employing the least effective and yet also the most restrictive means of accomplishing Indiana’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors,” the complaint argues.

The plaintiffs also allege that SB 17 imposes burdens on adults, “the vast majority of whom value their online privacy and do not wish to expose exploitable personal data simply to view constitutionally protected material they have every right to view. The high risk of data breaches and leaks resulting from compliance with the Act serves as an unavoidable barrier preventing adults from divulging their information over the internet.”

The lawsuit, filed against Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, now joins similar FSC-led challenges in Utah and Texas, which are pending before the courts.

Co-plaintiffs include Aylo Premium, Aylo Freesites, Webgroup Czech Republic, NKL Associates, Sonesta Technologies, Sonesta Media, Paper Street Media, Neptune Media, Mediame and Midus Holdings.

“We will continue to fight for the rights of adults to access the internet free of shame and surveillance,” said FSC Executive Director Alison Boden. “While they may sound reasonable on their face, laws like SB 17 have effectively functioned as state censorship. These laws have been a failure on every front, and we must take action to protect both the consumers and producers of expressive works from this harmful government overreach.”

LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures has released the debut installment of reigning XBIZ Performer of the Year Seth Gamble’s latest feature, “Iris.”

The erotic thriller stars Blake Blossom in the title role, along with Emma Hix, Jennifer White, Charles Dera, Dan Damage and Alex Mack.

“‘Iris’ centers on the psychological unraveling of a young woman,” said a rep. “As the debut episode begins, viewers are introduced to a rideshare driver (Blossom) who, feeling unseen by society, finds herself at the center of a series of brutal murders. Her passengers, seduced and then killed, seem to be victims of a vengeful force targeting those who once wronged her and stood by in silence.”

Gamble expanded on the plotline.

“The movie asks the question, ‘what would you do if you felt so unseen in your daily life that you feel literally invisible?'” he said. “Is Iris driven by a thirst for revenge against a man who once tried to take advantage of her and the indifferent bystanders who let it happen, or is someone or something else killing these unsuspecting passengers? Is her sense of invisibility in society fueling her actions, compelling her to cross boundaries and commit acts that others would never dare consider? That’s the question — just what are the lengths to which a person can go when they feel unseen?”

The first scene, titled “Unforgettable,” features Blossom, White and Dera.

“Blake is an undeniable powerhouse,” Gamble continued. “Her dedication is truly inspiring. She doesn’t merely act here; she fully inhabits the character of Iris. Despite her numerous awards, Blake never rests on her laurels, always striving for improvement, and the result is what I feel is truly a career-best performance here.

“Jennifer White and Charles Dera are the embodiment of the word ‘professional.’ I was really impressed by Charles’ subtlety and depth, which provided a strong contrast to Jennifer’s more volatile character. Their intensity and authenticity made the sex incredibly powerful.”

Added Blossom, “Given that it is a project with such strong emotions and attention to detail, it makes sense that this story came from an industry veteran. Being directed by Seth for this movie was a blast. I have worked alongside Seth for the last three years and each time I feel like I’ve become a better actor. It’s important to have good communication with your director when you’re playing such an intense role so that you can really pull every ounce of juice out of the character. Asking a lot of questions, no matter how small or stupid, really helped me dial in Iris.”

“Unforgettable” is streaming on Wicked.
