An author who promotes sex and marriage between men and girls as young as 12 is threatening to sue Covington County unless it pays him for books and CDs seized last year.
George Hoey Morris of Eclectic is seeking $10,900 for the loss of more than 1,000 books titled "Virginbride.net" and 800 copies of "Young Models," a companion compact disc.
The self-published book tells men how to travel to foreign countries and find girls for sex and marriage.
"I don't agree with it, but that does not transform it into something illegal," R. Scott Golden, an attorney for Morris who wrote the county seeking repayment, said in an interview Tuesday.
