In a victory for freedom of expression and downright good sense, Canadian special F/X artist Remy Couture has been found not guilty of corrupting morals by distributing, possessing and producing obscene material.
According to the Montreal Gazette, Couture was found not guilty after the jury deliberated for two days. “It’s like a 400-pound weight has been lifted,” Couture, 35, said. “It’s been the most stressful thing I’ve ever had to go through in my life.” Couture said the ruling means he can continue to create his art, without infringement on his right to free expression.
