Arizona radio station removes child pornography announcement
PHOENIX (AP) — An oldies country music radio station serving a rural Arizona area that aired a public service announcement for two years telling people how to hide potential evidence in child pornography cases has stopped doing so after advertisers received threats, the station's owner said Wednesday
KAVV-FM owner Paul Lotsof said in an interview that he does not like child pornography but created the announcement because he thinks Arizona's 10-year minimum sentence for each image of child porn is too harsh and costly for taxpayers.
The announcement drew the attention of local law enforcement officials, with Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannells calling it "disgusting and unacceptable" and encouraging "evil behavior."
