Pornographer Loses Licence
Los Angeles (FN) - The Academy of Pornographic Arts and Sciences (APAS) announced today that it has suspended the Licence to Pornograph (LTP) from Robin Peters pending a hearing in front of the APAS Discipline Committee.

Chartered as a self-governing professional body in 1949 under the federal Stagehands, Propmasters and Nudie Movies Act, APAS is responsible for maintaining quality, ethical and public safety standards in the adult film industry.
Film-maker Peters is alleged to have committed three breeches of the Act:
- In Hot Wet Housewives Who Like To Have Sex A Lot, there is a scene in which a housewife is unable to pay cash to a plumber and the plumber says "that's OK, I can just send you an invoice."
- In Really, Really Bad Horny Cheerleaders, a group of cheerleaders is caught in the rain while wearing flimsy t-shirts and the football team coach says "You girls better run along home now and get some dry things on."
- In We've Run Out of Suggestive Titles, an attractive woman makes advances to a man who says "Whoa, slow down a bit! Let's get to know each other first."
Wang said he found the allegations shocking.
"The protection of the public is our first duty. If incidents like these are allowed to stand, they will bring shame and disgrace on pornographic film-makers everywhere. Worse still, it will damage the public's confidence in our profession," said Wang.
Industry colleagues say that Mr. Peters had reported feeling frustrated by the limitations of the pornographic medium. He had previous run afoul of fans and regulators with his slow-paced period piece Womb With A View and with other "arty" creations, such as Dirty, Skanky Voluptuous Vixens, a pornographic adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.
