Obscenity Charge Over Sex Toy Sales Is Dropped
From Times Wire Reports
An obscenity charge has been dropped against a woman who received nationwide attention when she was arrested in November in Burleson and accused of selling two sex toys to undercover police officers.
A judge dismissed the case against Joanne Webb, Johnson County Attorney Bill Moore said in a statement. He said he asked the judge for the dismissal to prevent wasting county resources, but didn’t say when the dismissal occurred.
Webb, a former fifth-grade teacher, started selling erotic toys and other adult products last year. The Passion Parties Inc. consultant holds what she calls Tupperware-type parties for homemakers.
Had Webb been convicted of violating Texas’ obscenity law, she could have been sentenced to a year in jail.
