§ 12-145. Obscene literature.

Latest version.

It is unlawful for any person in the village knowingly to sell, offer for sale, exhibit, expose, give away, circulate, distribute, attempt to distribute, advertise, print or publish any obscene book, magazine, pamphlet, paper, writing, drawing, picture, print, photograph, motion picture film, videotape, play, statue, advertisement, circular, or any other article or material whatsoever which is obscene. For the purpose of this section, any material, performance or act is defined as obscene if:
(1)

The average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, would find that, taken as a whole, it appeals to the prurient interest; and

(2)

The average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, would find that it depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, ultimate sexual acts or sadomasochistic sexual acts, whether normal or perverted, actual or simulated, or masturbation, excretory functions or lewd exhibition of the genitals; and

(3)

Taken as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
