''Redrup v. New York'', was a May 8, 1967 ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States, widely regarded as the end of American censorship of written fiction. Robert Redrup was a Times Square newsstand clerk who sold two of William Hamling's Greenleaf Classics paperback pulp sex novels, ''Lust Pool'' and ''Shame Agent'', to a plainclothes police officer. He was tried and convicted in 1965. With financial backing from Hamling, Redrup appealed his case to the Supreme Court where his conviction was overturned by 7-2. The court's final ruling affirmed that written materials that were neither sold to minors nor foisted on unwilling audiences were constitutionally protected, thereby ''de facto'' ending American censorship of written material. After this decision, the Supreme Court systematically and summarily reversed, without further opinion, scores of obscenity rulings involving paperback sex books. ==See also== *List of United States Supreme Court cases, volume 386 *List of United States Supreme Court cases by the Warren Court *List of United States Supreme Court cases involving the First Amendment *''Roth v.
