I think that the US Supreme Court would have to find similarly, should the case be presented - public morality isn't supposed to be legislated with regard to expression (and thus art), to my knowledge, regardless of how offensive or sick it may seem to you and me.
I thought the US DID make a similar ruling, a few months ago
