The court entered a default judgment against Mr. Rappaport. Two other defendants in this case, Gary Mittman and Adult Banc, Inc., settled FTC charges in June 1999. Consumers will hear a recorded message which will instruct them to contact the receiver at the P.O. Box listed above. The Receiver expects a great volume of calls in the first weeks after the judgement, and urges callers who are met with a busy signal to be patient and to try calling again at a different time. A stipulated final judgment and order is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendant of a law violation.
Consent judgments have the force of law when signed by the judge.
The case was filed in U. S. District Court for the Central District of California, in Los Angeles.
