Prosecutor Says He Will Not Go After Kiosks

March 5, 2010 · Posted in M&E Daily, Today's M&E Connections 

Earlier this week, reports had surfaced that video store owners had convinced a county prosecutor in Indiana to send warning letters to retailers who gave space to Redboxes and other DVD kiosks. The letters reportedly stated that the kiosks’ offering of PG-13 and R rated movies could put the retailers in violation of criminal statutes as the kiosks gave minors easy access to harmful material.

The prosecutor, Stan Levco, had been weighing whether to file suit. But as Evansville, IN-based newscaster WFIE reports, Levco now says that a trial against kiosk companies “would be a waste of his resources and that a non-guilty verdict would be returned.” By WFIE
