A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Friday dismissed all charges against adult film producer John Stagliano, granting a defense motion for judgment of acquittal in the closely watched First Amendment case.

Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had last week dismissed two counts of the seven-count indictment against Stagliano, charged with producing two movies and a trailer that federal prosecutors said were criminally obscene.
