The complaint asks for “compensatory damages in an amount that exceeds one million dollars for each plaintiff,” plus another $1 million or more, each, in punitive damages. According to the complaint filed on behalf of Jane Doe No. 60 through Jane Doe No. 121, Aylo received “hundreds, if not thousands, of notices” over the years from women who claimed their videos were being published on Aylo’s websites without their consent, yet did not investigate those complaints. They are the controlling entity behind the biggest and highest trafficked porn sites today. Pornhub, RedTube, YouPorn, PornMD, PornIQ, GayTube, Tube8, XTube, Brazzers, Reality Kings, are just A FEW of the long list of sites MindGeek controls. Hell, this was the case like fifteen, twenty years ago when I had subscriptions for several of the larger porn sites. “Give me your credit card number and assert that you’re of legal age in your jurisdiction.” were the sole pair of requirements.

Filming process

In 2014, her Girls Do Porn appearances went viral after appearing on Pornhub and other free porn sites, and she was stripped of her title and faced public shaming while still in college. They also don’t bother to verify simple, legal details like age, if the sex and filming was consensual, or if the “performers” agreed to public exposure. Over the years, MindGeek amassed a small army of failing sites to create their own online porn empire.

Pornhub fuels human trafficking

Sometimes responses and replies take time, and we ask you to be courteous and patient to allow the expert to type answers to you and also to others. “He used deceit and lies and vindictiveness to torture the young women he caught in his snare,” FBI Supervisory Special Agent Renee Green said in a September news release announcing Pratt’s inclusion on the list and the $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. There is a shadowy name hovering over the internet today, and you’ve probably never even heard of them. This is a result of “anti-money-laundering” (aka “KYC”) banking regulations and has nothing to do with being online transactions, rather than in-person. Long ago, it used to be that you could show up with a sufficiently large wad of cash and get a checking account opened, no question.

• This same victim said they sent two more messages and the video was not taken off MindGeek’s sites until after October 2019, the lawsuit added.
• 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.
• “Out of respect for the integrity of court proceedings, our policy is not to comment on ongoing litigation,” said Ethical Capital Partner’s spokeswoman, Bain.

• Porn hub encodes a message with the key and sends to the government database to get a yes / no.
• However, many sex workers also support an overhaul of Pornhub to prevent the proliferation of sex-trafficking and nonconsensual videos.
• 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.
• It claims that there were no videos of extremely young children being raped — “Every video and photo is reviewed manually before upload by a large and extensive team of human moderators” — yet the site was heaving with illegal content.

At this point, there was no longer a company left for MindGeek to partner with. Forty Jane Does who say they were victims of GirlsDoPorn sued Pornhub yesterday for at least $2 million each, alleging that Pornhub hosted videos despite knowing that “GirlsDoPorn was a sex trafficking venture.” The lawsuit seeks at least $10 million for each plaintiff in compensatory and punitive damages and to bar Aylo from ever again hosting the victims’ videos. Among them, producer and porn actor Ruben Andre Garcia was sentenced to 20 years in prison, while website operator Matthew Isaac Wolfe pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to commit sex trafficking count and is slated for sentencing in January. It may be because the real crime of MindGeek is that they are complicit in broadcasting sex trafficking and child rape across the internet, and therefore won’t restrict it. They don’t police themselves, fail to follow laws and—what’s worse—governments have yet to crack down on them.

Mickelwait said that she has reported many hundreds of videos to law enforcement and anti-trafficking watchdogs. “Most consumers in general do not feel comfortable uploading their IDs” when online, noted Mike Stabile, director of public policy for the Free Speech Coalition, an adult entertainment trade association that has joined in fighting the lawsuits. A 2022 lawsuit says Pornhub profited from the videos of the 12-year-old Alabama boy who was drugged and repeatedly raped — and for five months ignored demands by police that the videos be taken down. More than a dozen of these lawsuits were filed in the past month alone, and many more may be on the way. “We are in the process of filing cases on behalf of approximately 250 victims, with more reaching out weekly,” Bowe told BI.

They can play innocent, but then why does Pornhub allow video titles to be posted including the phrases “teen slapped,” and “innocent teen abused,” or “scared teen cries” without regulation or investigation? With titles like those floating around their site, MindGeek isn’t just ignorant or negligent—they’re accomplices. According to the (British) Internet Watch Foundation, there are over 100 cases of children being sexually abused on Pornhub. The vast majority of people who received the warning message and chatbot did so only once, the report says. Around 1.7 million people saw a warning before leaving Pornhub or making other searches related to legal material. They typically remained on the site and looked for other stuff,” Findlater says.

The sex, the violence, the torture, and the fear and pain in my eyes and in my screams were 100% real. And as the case against Pornhub has brought to light, those who distributed or websites that hosted my films were also complicit in the crimes perpetrated against me. Laila Mickelwait, the Director of Abolition at Exodus Cry, has taken on Pornhub, the largest porn website in the world. As she tweeted piece after piece of evidence proving Pornhub’s complicity in crimes posted on their site people saw and responded. She started a petition to “Shut Down Pornhub and Hold Its Executives Accountable” and in 2 weeks 300,000 have signed in solidarity with the cause. And the complaint says some were sexually assaulted, and in at least one case raped.
