Ill. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 9.27A

Any [(material) (performance)] is obscene if

[1. the average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, would find

that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; and

[2] the average person, applying contemporary adult community standards, would find

that it depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, ultimate sexual acts or

sadomasochistic sexual acts, whether normal or perverted, actual or simulated, or

masturbation, excretory functions, or lewd exhibition of the genitals; and

[3] a reasonable person, taking the [(material) (performance)] as a whole, would find no

serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

[Obscenity is judged with reference to the standards of adults, except that it is judged

with reference to children or other specially susceptible audiences if it appears from the character

of the material or the circumstances of its dissemination to be specially designed for or directed

to such an audience.]

In determining how any [(material) (performance)] would be viewed by the average

person, you are to consider how it would be viewed by ordinary adults in the whole State of

Illinois rather than by the people in any single city or town or region within the State.
