Cincinnati - The trial of Hustler magazine publisher, Mr Larry Flynt, on 15 obscenity-related charges was postponed yesterday until April 5th to enable him to undergo surgery in Los Angeles.
The request to postpone the trial was granted after Mr Flynt's lawyer filed a motion in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court asking for an adjournment. He said Mr Flynt's doctor had urged him to have urological surgery within 10 days or risk serious health consequences.
The trial of Mr Flynt (55) and his brother Jimmy (49) involves the sale of allegedly obscene videotapes to a 14-year-old boy at Mr Flynt's Cincinnati bookstore.
