Wyngate & Bevins
Location:
Hollywood, CA
Notes:
Published a number of nudist magazines including the Mr. Sun periodical. That class of material was part of the vanguard of porn. The naked male form had been ruled as not obscene so a completely non-sexual format was freed from restriction and nudist colonies or guys pretending they were at one was the next frontier. They were 'innocent' because the guys weren't even posing to be looked at. They were just being 'natural'. By 1970 they had switched to softcore briefly before disappearing until there was a blip of hardcore activity in the late '80s. ------ US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Samuel and Albert Ratner, ran a large scale mail order business in allegedly obscene magazines and films. They operated through a California corporation, Wyngate & Bevins, Inc. The corporation mailed sexually explicit advertisements to persons on various mailing lists who had not solicited the material, mailed similar advertisements with each order, and advertised in various magazines. The United States indicted the two Ratners and Wyngate & Bevins for violations of the federal obscenity statute, 18 U.S.C. 1461. A jury found the defendants guilty. The trial court sentenced the individual defendants to five years imprisonment on each of seven counts, the sentences to run concurrently. The court fined Wyngate & Bevins $35,000, $5,000 for each count. This case was eventually overturned as obscenity law were struck down.
