One may "publish" by showing a videotape; the phrase "portrayed observer" is not unconstitutionally overbroad; the phrase "sexually explicit conduct" is not unconstitutionally vague; and sexual excitement is not an element or substantial motivational factor of some of the conduct proscribed under subsection (1) of this section. State v. Burke, 225 Neb. 625, 408 N.W.2d 239 (1987).
