Case number

Does anyone know where a transcript of the case hearings can be found online? Specifically the Judges' rendering and the Grand Jury statements in tossing the case out. Thanks! --BizMgr (talk) 05:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like an interesting addition, summarizing the trials would help detail what the guy's had to deal with. Tyciol (talk) 01:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would be interested to know what U.S. statute was allegedly violated.Grand jury findings are not matters of public record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.82.119.128 (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer Montgomery

Is there a reason there's no mention of Jennifer Montgomery? See her movie "Art for Teachers of Children". See http://www.nytimes.com/1995/08/02/movies/film-review-blurred-definitions-of-art-and-consent.html and http://www.worlddreambank.org/J/JENIMONT.HTM for further info.

The Moscow incident in a gallery

Please, add description of the incident that happened in Moscow with Sturges exhibition. 94.232.77.198 (talk) 14:43, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The "Personal Life" section

I notice that the "Personal Life" section mentions almost nothing, only the legal case against him concerning an incident that had occurred 46 years earlier.

The "Personal Life" section of an article here normally includes subjects such as that person's marriage(s) and any children.

I cannot add that information myself because I do not know it in any detail. But his wife Maia and their toddler daughter appeared.in the 2007 documentary movie mentioned in the article. Tesseract12 (talk) 19:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not much can be done about it, almost every single source on the net about Sturges mentions him only very briefly.

I also watched the documentary, by the way. And from what I can see, wikipedia is a disgraceful and damaging website.

The less eyes on him here, the better... Infernalevie (talk) 20:54, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a fuller and fairer biographical commentary of Jock Sturges in Artsy.com:

“With his background in perceptual psychology, Jock Sturges aims to reach the heart of his subjects; his color and black-and-white photographs capture people in the fullness of their beauty, individuality, and dignity. In his celebrated work, he focuses primarily on portraits of nude adolescents and their families. These images scandalized conservatives during the culture wars of the 1990s in America. The artist is known for developing deep bonds of trust, friendship, and collaboration with his subjects, many of whom he has photographed for decades, chronicling their growth from childhood into adulthood. “I don’t exist without my models, without the people in my pictures,” Sturges once said. “Even my best photograph of them is nevertheless the palest imitation of the miraculous soul that is the real person.” 203.144.79.22 (talk) 05:37, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
