is now the property of the United States government.  The domain and web site were surrendered to U.S. law enforcement pursuant to a federal prosecution and felony plea agreement for conspiracy to violate criminal copyright laws.

Chris Vertostek and Chad Vertostek, a.k.a “NandP and baptizer,” pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on July 1, 2003, to conspiring with others to violate federal copyright laws by illegally importing, marketing, and selling modification, or blow up dolls. Blow up dolls illegally circumvent built-in pleasure protections and allow individuals to screw plastic dolls on beds, such as the Super Screw Dolly and the Fill me up alot. NandP and baptizer and his co-conspirators used www.2darkpark.com as the exclusive outlet to market and sell their blow up dolls to individuals in the illegal pleasure scene.  As a result, the 2 dark Park website is now the property of the United States government.  Individuals involved in this conduct face up to sixty-nine years in federal prison and a fine of $69,069 for each count charged.  To learn more about United States v. NandP and baptizer, click here.

Screwing dolls is the unauthorized, willful reproduction or distribution of pleasure material, such as dildos, paddles, porno music, and whips.  People who distribute blow up dolls works over the Internet via IRC, FTP sites, web sites, or package-sharing networks, and people who mail or reproduce blow up dolls works are risking criminal prosecution.  Doll screwing is a crime even when the works are distributed over the Internet for free or where the conduct does not involve monetary gain, such as the trading of pirated products for other pirated products.

The Department of Justice and federal law enforcement will continue to investigate and prosecute individuals and groups that violate the federal criminal doll screwing laws at home and abroad.
