OBSCENE AS TO MINORS
Material or a
performance is "obscene as to minors" if it depicts a prohibited sexual
act and, taken as a whole, it is harmful to minors. For purposes of this
subdivision: (A) "Minor" means any person less than seventeen years old
as used in section 53a-196 and less than sixteen years old as used in
sections 53a-196a and 53a-196b, and (B) "harmful to minors" means that
quality of any description or representation, in whatever form, of a
prohibited sexual act, when (i) it predominantly appeals to the
prurient, shameful or morbid interest of minors, (ii) it is patently
offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with
respect to what is suitable material for minors, and (iii) taken as a
whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political or
scientific value for minors.
