L. Ed. 2d446
A civil injunction barring the theatres in question from showing adult films was upheld; however, the State's definitions of obscene material must be re-evaluated in light of recent jurisprudence.Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, 413 U.S. 49 (1973), was a case in which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a state court's injunction against the showing of obscene films in a movie theatre restricted to consenting adults.[1] The Court distinguished the case from Stanley v. Georgia,[2] saying that the privacy of the home that was controlling in Stanley was not present in the commercial exhibition of obscene movies in a theatre.
