From CourtTV.com: Louis "Butchie" Peraino, an associate of the Colombo crime family, was one of the financial backers of "Deep Throat." Linda Lovelace mentions (in the video clip on this page), that while he did not approve of her look for the part, he did want her to have sex with him. Born June 16, 1940, son of Anthony Joseph Peraino, "Butchie" died April 26, 1999. Peraino was indicted in 1980 as part of the FBI MIPORN pornography investigation. The US District Court of Southern Florida indicted 43 people for transporting and conspiring to transport pornographic materials over state lines. One of the video cassettes that Peraino was accused of transporting interstate was "Confessions of Linda Lovelace."
