Identified in a 1986 presidential report as the world's leading purveyor of X-rated materials, Sturman, 67, has been the target of three federal obscenity prosecutions. Last week a Las Vegas jury was unable to reach a verdict in Sturman's most recent trial, on nine counts of racketeering, conspiracy and obscenity, and found him not guilty of one charge of transporting an indecent videotape across...
