San Francisco Chronicle, April 2, 2010:
California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Thursday that he will not prosecute the community organizing group ACORN or conservative filmmakers who posed as a pimp and prostitute while secretly videotaping conversations at Southern California offices of the group last year.
Brown granted conservative filmmakers James O'Keefe III and Hannah Giles immunity in exchange for their full, unedited videotapes of their encounters with the group's staff, during which they sought advice on how to smuggle Mexican girls across the border as prostitutes.
The evidence does not show that employees of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now violated state criminal laws in connection with their conversations with O'Keefe and Giles, the report concluded.
