FBI to Address 2257 Inspections at XBIZ Hollywood Conference

LOS ANGELES — The FBI has agreed to send special agent Chuck Joyner to speak on the 2257 seminar panel at the upcoming XBIZ Hollywood Conference, Feb. 7-8, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, Calif. The panel in question will take place Wednesday, Feb. 7, at 10:00 a.m., in the main seminar hall of the venue.

Agent Joyner will join industry attorneys on a panel devoted to an in-depth discussion of 2257, with a focus on the inspections process. Joyner will open with a presentation designed to provide specific information about the purpose of inspections, how to prepare and behave during an inspection, and (without naming specific companies) the areas of non-compliance that inspectors have encountered during previous inspections. A brief Q&A session will follow, after which the industry attorneys will join the panel for the second part of the seminar. Attorneys invited to speak are Paul Cambria, Jeffrey Douglas and Gregory Piccionelli.

In 2006, Joyner was selected to create and implement an inspection program to conduct inspections pursuant to 18 USC 2257. In this capacity, he was instrumental in developing the FBI’s policies and procedures for the 2257 inspection process. Joyner continues to serve as the FBI lead inspector on 2257 inspections and has been personally involved in all but one of the 2257 inspections of adult companies over the past several months. He also was present at the Washington, D.C., meeting in October with several adult companies and industry attorneys.

“This is an unprecedented event and we hope that anyone who is able will make time to attend this seminar, and the conference as a whole,” said XBIZ Publisher Tom Hymes. “This particular seminar is about providing invaluable information about a 2257 inspection that could happen to anyone, at any time. It is about being as prepared as possible, and we want to thank Agent Joyner and the FBI in advance for engaging in a level of direct discussion with the industry that has never taken place before.”
