Finally, we can say that we were trafficked in porn, finally people will understand. “They scammed me and told me it was only going to dvds in another country. MindGeek did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the lawsuit. The NYT exposé follows a BBC investigation which exposed the repeated uploading of a child rape to the site and the impact it has had on the victim’s life. The women were all victims of Girls Do Porn, whose owners have been charged with offences by US officials. That video remained up, according to the complaint, until the FBI’s indictment.

If MindGeek did not know GirlsDoPorn was a sex trafficking venture before October 2019, it should have known for a great number of reasons, the most notable of which is that GirlsDoPorn’s victims sent MindGeek complaints detailing the fraud and coercion they were subjected to by GirlsDoPorn. Because of this knowledge, MindGeek is, at minimum, civilly liable to Plaintiffs under Section 1595 for damages and attorney fees. GirlsDoPorn was using fraud, intimidation, and coercion are part of its regular business practices until the criminal charges were filed in October 2019, MindGeek’s ignorance of the sex trafficking is a direct result of its own negligence, which still triggers Section 1595 liability. Pornhub has faced increasing problems amid allegations that it hosted content featuring child sexual exploitation, nonconsensual violence, rape, and other illegal material.

Forty victims of sex trafficking operation GirlsDoPorn filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Mindgeek, demanding more than $40 million in damages. Each victim is asking for at least $1 million, as well as the money generated by Mindgeek from hosting and promoting their videos, as well as legal fees, Vice reported. That lawsuit was filed in October on behalf of 62 women who claimed that PornHub and Aylo’s other free porn sites published videos of them that were the result of sex trafficking through force, fraud and coercion. A similar 2020 lawsuit filed in San Diego by 60 women ended in a settlement, the terms of which were not disclosed.

• “We are in the process of filing cases on behalf of approximately 250 victims, with more reaching out weekly,” Bowe told BI.
• Most of the hyperlink advertisements on these victim’s videos redirect the visitor to MindGeek’s paysite, Others redirect the visitor to third-party paysites, such as JerkMate.com.
• The site has temporarily suspended all user-uploaded content, after an explosive story from the New York Times detailed the site’s failure to moderate child pornography and non-consensual videos.
• The higher the views and ratings of that video, the more advertising revenue that video will likely generate.

The videos also reached millions of viewers after Girls Do Porn uploaded them to Pornhub and other porn tube sites, where women were often doxed in the comments. The doxing in turn led to the women being harassed at their jobs and schools. Multiple women said the harassment was so vicious that they contemplated suicide.

Our international work involves uprooting the underlying causes in our culture that allow the industry of sexual exploitation to thrive and helping those who have been sexually exploited. The rise of short porn videos that can be uploaded to websites has only escalated the number of crimes being used as masturbatory fuel on sites like Pornhub. These shoots where crimes are perpetrated against teenage girls don’t happen in the light of day on public sets.

The new lawsuit alleges the company’s business partnership with GirlsDoPorn only ended because GirlsDoPorn ceased to exist amid a Department of Justice sex trafficking investigation. The charges are separate from an ongoing trial in San Diego Superior Court, in which 22 women are accusing the company of recruiting them to shoot porn under false pretenses. In their suit, the women claim that they were told that they were being hired for modeling jobs, for which they would be paid $5,000, and were not informed that they would be making pornographic content until they arrived on set. During testimony earlier this week, Moser, who spoke on behalf of the plaintiffs, said that Pratt instructed her not to tell recruits the name of the company, telling her to call it “Plus One Media” instead. The owner and three employees of Girls Do Porn, the porn company accused of lying to and coercing women into shooting content for them, were arrested and charged with sex trafficking on Thursday. The site allows users to upload their own content, and therein lies the HUGE, maybe criminal problem.
