Bartow (Florida): A man who wrote a how-to
guide for paedophiles is on his way to a jail in Florida.
Phillip Greaves of Pueblo, Colorado, will be booked
into the Polk County jail today. Officials say his first court
appearance is scheduled for tomorrow.
The 47-year-old was arrested yesterday in Colorado and
is charged with violating Florida's obscenity law, a
third-degree felony.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd claims jurisdiction
because Greaves sold and mailed a copy of his book to
undercover deputies who had written the author requesting a
copy.
The book caused outrage when it was listed on Amazon
in November. It was later removed from the website.
Florida's obscenity law prohibits distributing
material that depicts children "engaged in conduct harmful to
minors."
