Item  5.     Other  Events

     Eric  Langan,  our President and Director, was charged by a Mobile, Alabama
circuit  court  on charges related to a tanning salon that Mr. Langan previously
owned and sold more than five years ago.  The charges are completely and totally
unrelated  to  our operations or activities, or Mr. Langan's relationship as our
President  and  Director.  The  charges  relate to a recently enacted statute in
Alabama  aimed at the adult entertainment business.  The charges allege that Mr.
Langan  owned,  had  an  interest  in or was in control of, the tanning salon in
Alabama  where  the  State  alleges that nudity occurred in violation of Section
13A-12-200.11  of  the Code of Alabama.  The charges are in connection with acts
that  purportedly  occurred in January 2001 and March 2001, more than five years
after  Mr.  Langan  sold  the  tanning  salon  business.

     Mr.  Langan,  who has not been in Mobile, Alabama for more than five years,
stated  that,  "These  charges  are  wholly  without  merit  and  I  intend  to
aggressively and vigorously defend myself against these charges.  I am confident
that  I  will  be  completely  vindicated  in  this  matter."

     This  Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of

include  the  risks and uncertainties as to our future operational and financial
results,  the future operational strength of Voice Media, the laws governing the
operation  of adult entertainment businesses, competitive factors, dependence on



key  personnel,  and  the ability to manage operations. We have no obligation to
update  or  revise  the  forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of
future  events  or  circumstances.
