Paul Reubens, the actor best known for playing Pee-wee Herman, shouldn't face a child pornography charge because his collection of erotica is historical, his lawyer is arguing.
The state's child pornography law, enacted in 1989, does not apply to the images and film in the case because they were produced decades earlier, Blair Berk said in a motion Friday. Some of the images are from the turn of the 20th century, Berk said.
The motion also argues that the law is unconstitutionally broad and that a statute of limitations expired before the charge was filed.
