RCW 9.68.050 "Erotic material"—Definitions.
For the purposes of RCW 9.68.050 through 9.68.120:
(1) "Minor" means any person under the age of eighteen years;
(2) "Erotic material" means printed material, photographs, pictures, motion pictures, sound recordings, and other material the dominant theme of which taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest of minors in sex; which is patently offensive because it affronts contemporary community standards relating to the description or representation of sexual matters or sado-masochistic abuse; and is utterly without redeeming social value;
(3) "Person" means any individual, corporation, or other organization;
(4) "Dealers", "distributors", and "exhibitors" mean persons engaged in the distribution, sale, or exhibition of printed material, photographs, pictures, motion pictures, or sound recordings.
