During that time, they produced approximately 80 issues or collections, such as LS-Land, LS-Stars, LS-Barbie, LS-Flash, LS-Girls and LS-Fantasy..." Drum (U.S., 1964–1967), December 1965 issue was the first U.S. magazine to show male frontal nudity

Despite extensive surveillance and eventually the arrest of various "Alex Model" employees across Ukraine, the legal outcome was lenient. Most involved were given suspended sentences. Alexander N. was held several months in a pre-trial detention center and was released. [8] [13] See also [ edit ] While early collections often featured nude girls in natural poses, later collections also contained many images of girls in sexually suggestive poses. Second, the article has been mis-edited due to misunderstandings of the No Original Research policy. The primary source material for this article is the output of the LS Studios, and it is easily found on the Internet. Factual statements that any reasonable adult can verify by looking at the primary source material are NOT original research. It would be nice if there were secondary sources to cite, but nobody has found any, and are not required by Wiki policy. The first police report for the agency was received by the Crimean police in 2004 from a resident of Simferopol. [8] Law enforcement started surveillance and collected information, and officers identified about 40 people involved in this case in one way or another. I have been especially impressed by Wikipedia's core values and guidelines of conduct. Respect is extremely important to me.

Really, the only thing the article gets right is the girls wore beautiful costumes and were photographed in and out of these clothes. From a culturally pertinent POV there was nothing indecent about the photos, and the only girls who simulated kissing and fondling were older and the behavior was entirely age appropriate (no matter how this might offend some, the fact remains 12, 13 and 14 year olds know about sex and are curious about it - and a great many are also quite sexually active). Scared (or warned), LS Studios put out two more LS Magazines that showed a lot less before they were shut down." LS Dreams had girls doing everyday activities, but LS Magazine had a definite raunchy side. There was a lot of talk about this set, particularly the blonde girl who definitely had a great time. Most of the issue is artistic, however. Third, editorial work in Wiki falls to those who are willing to do the research and report on it. It's a volunteer job. If you don't want to do the job and review the sources, then you should edit something else. You can't dispute facts simply because you don't want to visit the library and look them up, or because your library doesn't have the right books, or won't let you look at them. Let somebody do it who can. 194.177.100.34 19:19, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[2] This statement would probably not be easily verifiable, as it would require looking at all of LS Studio's content: Child pornography is an infamous crime today. By this I mean that it is a crime generally considered one of the most heinous; one that gets a lot of moral panic-style press articles; and one that nobody wants to be personally associated with. Other infamous crimes today include terrorism, and the manufacture and sale of methamphetamine.

Unencyclopedic: I do not see anything at Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not which supports the claim that a list of productions is unencyclopedic. The agency's operations spanned several cities in Ukraine. They would regularly advertise on TV, in local newspapers and radio, calling for children with a "model appearance". Parents, believing in opportunities for their children, brought in their kids, and the agency's workers would create explicit content. [3] An Insight into Child Porn". WikiLeaks. February 2002.

The result of the discussion was Keep. See The following is a list of gay pornographic magazines, with country of publication and approximate period of publication, where available: It is ridiculous to compare the work of LS-Studios that of the pornography industry. So called soft-core porn is classified as such based upon the parts of the body visible and what those body parts are doing. The premise how ever is the same throughout. They pit females in degrading roles subject to phallic fornications. Its end is a restrained prostitution. If it is something other than this it is traditionally classified as art. LS captures the sexuality of young girls professionally and tastefully. The attention to the entertainment value does not detract from it as an artistic work. Familiarity with art or smut does not factor into the premise of objections only arguments of objectors. Threat is perceived from girls sexuality, from the fact that they can be and are naked without embarrassment, from an approach to presenting sexuality that is based on beauty rather than vulgarity, and fear of a denuded inadequacy in the American justice system namely the FBI and its prior standing errors. The raids were conducted after a joint investigation between Ukrainian police and Interpol. Subsequently after initial raids, several other child pornography studios were closed in Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Lviv. [7] In 2005, the United States Department of State announced that there was further cooperation between Ukrainian police and other law enforcement agencies internationally. [7]

Operating predominantly in Kyiv with branches in cities like Kharkiv and Simferopol, the agency, named "Alex Model" ( Ukrainian: Алекс-Модел), was identified as one of the major producers and distributors of child pornographic content which was branded under several names throughout the world using "LS" abbreviature as LS-Models, LS-Magazine, LS-Girls, LS-Studio, LS-Island, LS-Land, LS-Dreams, LSMODELCLUB (LS Model Club). The leaders attracted minors with the prospect of modeling opportunities, only to involve them in illicit activities. [2]Please contribute if you have additional information.
