The accused is an interesting example as well, because my memory of that particular scene was that there were a lot of lingering and exploitative shots of Jodie Fosters chest. (I might be wrong, I saw it as a teenager, so my recollection of the boobs might be overly stressed in my memory.)
I wouldn't be surprised if anybody who gets accused under these laws puts together a mix tape of scenes that are available in mainstream films, and plays it in court to ask what exactly the difference is.
Because, the accused aside, I can think of a half dozen movies I've seen where the rape scenes were unquestionably shot and designed to titillate the viewer.
But then, I suppose the legislating and controlling of pornography is an age-old battle waged between Those In Power (who want it to be restricted only for their own personal entertainment, and not available to the proles) and we the people.
