'''Description of Artwork:''' Karen Fletcher operated an internet website called "Red Rose Stories" that featured fictive stories that describe children being kidnapped, sexually molested, tortured and murdered. According to the Post-Gazette Fletcher began writing the stories as "a kind of self-imposed therapy" to help deal with her own sexual abuse. She then published the stories on a website and, to prevent minors and others from accessing the site improperly, charged $10-per-month subscription fee to download the stories. At the time of the indictment, there were 29 members to the site.

'''The Incident:''' In 2005 the FBI and US Attorney Generals office began investigating Fletcher's website. Concerned about the content of the site, government officials began filing charges against Fletcher and moving to have the site shut down. In September 2006, Fletcher was indicted on six counts of transportation of obscene matters over the internet.
