CBS News reports:

A Utah retailer of family-friendly tapes and DVDs — Hollywood films with the “dirty parts” cut out of them — has been arrested for trading sex with two 14-year-old girls.

Orem police say Flix Club owner Daniel Dean Thompson, 31, and Issac Lifferth, 24, were booked into the Utah County jail on charges of sexual abuse and unlawful sexual activity with a 14-year-old…

Thompson’s Flix Club was one of several Utah-based video outlets that traded in edited versions of R- and PG-13-rated films, catering to clientele who wanted to watch hit movies without nudity, sex, language or graphic violence.

Thompson had to shut down the business a few weeks ago because of threats from Hollywood studios for violating copyright laws. At this point that’s the least of his worries: The Salt Lake Tribune adds that Thompson’s business was a cover for a pornography studio. He asked the girls to make a porn movie with him, but in a rare moment of good sense, they refused:

Police found a “large quantity” of pornographic movies inside the business, along with a keg of beer, painkillers and two cameras hooked up to a television.

Whoops! Well, maybe he was just doing research. How could he cut out the “dirty parts” if he didn’t know what they were? Yeah, that’s the ticket…
