According to Berk, police executing a November 2001 search warrant at Reubens's home seized "well over 30,000 images and more than 650 hours of film" from the actor's "vast and valuable historical collection of artwork, kitsch memorabilia, and adult erotica." Of that haul, Berk stated, prosecutors have identified as child porn "isolated images contained in one vintage book, approximately 24 vintage magazines,and a single vintage film." Below you'll find declarations filed in support of the Reubens dismissal motion--one from Berk, the other from a professor of photography. (5 pages)
