TAMPA - A federal judge today granted permission for an adult movie producer to be on the 'The Howard Stern Show.'
Paul F. Little, also known as Max Hardcore, is being prosecuted in U.S. District Court in Tampa on federal obscenity charges. While the case is pending, travel for the California resident is restricted to his home district and the Middle District of Florida.
Federal Magistrate Mary S. Scriven on Thursday granted a defense request that Little be allowed to travel to New York, where Howard Stern's satellite radio show is broadcast.
'I look at Howard Stern as the voice of America,' Little said recently. 'He gets out there and he says what he wants, and they even kicked him off regular radio, fined him heavily for saying words. He moved on, and he's still standing. I consider the opportunity to get on his show ... and tell my story really just a wonderful opportunity.'
Little said he plans to take his partner, adult film star Layla, with him to appear on the show. 'We're going to have a great time,' he said.
Little's attorney, James Benjamin, filed the motion Tuesday, asking a federal judge to allow the defendant to fly to New York on Sept. 22 so he can appear on the show Sept. 24. He would return to California on Sept. 25, the motion states.
