Police, saying they were responding to citizen complaints, carted away two large promotional photographs from the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Lynnhaven Mall on Saturday and cited the manager on obscenity charges.


The citation was issued under City Code Section 22.31, Bernstein said, which makes it a crime to display "obscene materials in a business that is open to juveniles." He did not say what was being done with the pictures and when the manager, whose name was not released, is scheduled to appear in court.
The manager was not arrested but faces a fine of up to $2,000 and as much as a year in jail, if convicted.

I feel bad for this person. A & F had better get the charges dropped on him. He is only the manager of a store, while the company is responsible for the advertising.

No shit. Why wouldn't they charge the corporation & fine them?

Fucking lunatics.

Yeah man, fining and jailing a guy for something he has no control over. Douchebag DA.

They have that same large photograph at the entrance to the A&F in Willowbrook Mall. The only thing I thought when I saw it was some gay guy took that picture and another gay guy decided to display it.

As someone who worked for years in the corporate side of a chain of stores, I can assure you scottinnj is correct. The store manager has absolutely no say, no in-put and no control over this picture. If he did remove it on his own, he would be fired.
