POP/ROCK - March 27, 1990

2 Live Crew Update: Charges have been dropped against a Sarasota, Fla., record store clerk who was arrested on March 15 after selling a copy of the sexually explicit 2 Live Crew “As Nasty as They Wanna Be” album to an 11-year-old girl. Chauncey Reese, 19, had been charged with selling harmful material to a minor, a felony that carries maximum penalties of five years in prison and a fine of $5,000. In a related move, a Sarasota County judge ruled the album to be obscene Friday, making it the third county in the state to ban the sale of the record to adults or minors.
