Re: Can I sue a consumer for selling a minor Rated R video tapes.

Your question requires further clarification. Who is this "consumer" and in what Virginia community do you reside?

Even if the community were one where the standards for pornographic material were very

conservative, it's doubtful that the sale of

"R" video tapes by a private party("consumer")to

a sixteen year old would confer upon the parent a civil cause of action to sue the seller.
