Publisher behind pornography empire was known for pushing boundaries of free speech
Larry Flynt Jr, the publisher of Hustler magazine who used his pornography empire and flair for the outrageous to push the limits of free speech, has died at the age of 78, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper said Flynt’s brother Jimmy had confirmed his death but did not cite a specific cause. Flynt suffered from a variety of health problems since a 1978 assassination attempt that left him paraplegic.
