October 20, 2000. Both of his assailants, Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, are now serving life sentences for murder. But according to Jeffrey's parents, Robert and Barbara Curley, Jaynes and Sicari were not solely responsible for their son's murder.

Pornography causes rape, according to antiporn feminists.
Sex education causes teen pregnancy, according to their counterparts on the right. The absurdity of these claims makes it difficult to take them seriously. But this lawsuit has already had serious chilling effects on speech. I can't swear that I've seen the complete Web site, but viewing copies of what purportedly appeared on the Internet at the time of the Curley murder, I found no incitement to violence and abuse, no evidence of a conspiracy to rape and murder young boys, and not even any erotica. Of course, some may believe that any erotica involving minors is an invitation to abuse, or statutory rape, at least.
