Classic Houston
In 1988, John Coil created his nonprofit religious corporation, Trinity Christians of America Inc., which operates adult video stores (!) in Louisiana and Texas. Mr. Coil is now in hot water because TCA scammed about $5 million in taxes and has admitted to trafficking in "obscene" materials, namely a video entitled Nympho Bride! Although Trinity Christian never filed a tax return, Coil suspects that actual Christians are behind his woes "because they want to control what other people watch."
Prosecutor Tim Gallagher said "It's not that [the video] portrays sexual conduct; it's that it portrays it in a patently offensive way."
Disgusting! I only like state-approved porn!
At least two dozen adult video stores in cities like San Antonio, El Paso and Houston could be closed within months.
Dang! Where am I going to make some new friends?
The buildings and land will be sold and most of the pornography destroyed.
I think this is my favorite lunatics in Texas story so far...
I work at one of his stores. They went ahead and seized several of them in Houston and San Antonio- 5 months before planned, with rifles and everything. Don't forget "Property of US Government" sign. Such bullshit. 2 stores alone are worth his amount evaded, and they took 45.
