This was obvious in the Girls Do Porn case, where 22 girls were coerced into having sex by now fugitive founder Michael Pratt, in which the videos were uploaded to Pornhub without their consent. In each of the crimes above, Pornhub has capitalized on views to earn money by advertising. With every video upload, Pornhub retains the right to monetize that video with advertisements.

It’s another thing to have that rape filmed and then distributed all over the world for profit and pleasure on Pornhub, where 5 million users an hour could have the opportunity to actually download because they had a download button on every video. They (the victims) called it the immortalization of their trauma, where they understood that even after they’re dead, people will be getting profit and pleasure from the worst moments of their lives. Victims said in lawsuit filings that GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys lured them into conversations by posing as a modeling agency in Craigslist ads, with links to fake sites, offering modeling gigs in cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. They eventually offered thousands of dollars to make adult videos and connected potential victims with fake performers who convinced them that they’d enjoyed the experience, according to the suit.
- The FBI is currently seeking to arrest former co-owner of Girls Do Porn, Michael James Pratt, who allegedly coerced young women into filming sexually explicit content for the site.
- The charge stemmed from Aylo’s role in hosting videos and accepting payments from GirlsDoPorn.
- Out of more than 1,200 employees, just one person was tasked with reviewing the hundreds of thousands of films flagged for depicting real crimes of child sexual abuse, rape and trafficking.

- Without justice, there’s not healing, and there’s not closure, and they need justice, not only against the abusers who abused them, but against the executives who profited and globally distributed and immortalized their trauma.
- Most recently, she said, she reported to state authorities the Pornhub video showing a woman shouting in pain and asking not to be filmed.
- The complaint further alleges that Pratt took Althaus’ cellphone during the filming and only gave it back to her afterward.
- And so, as I began to continue to investigate that, I was trying to dig in to understand this intersection between the pornography industry and sex trafficking and these crimes and other harms.
- A judge ruled in favor of the women in January 2020, ordering Girls Do Porn to pay them $12.7 million in damages and granting them ownership rights to the content.
- The FBI indicted Girls Do Porn for federal counts of sex trafficking in October 2019, and in January 2020, a state judge awarded more than $12.7 million to 22 women who brought a civil case against Girls Do Porn, finding the production company guilty of fraud and coercion.
They were hidden by both perpetrators and those complicit in their crimes, but now they will see the light of day. To make matters worse, after they finished shooting, Garcia’s team would send the videos to each girls family. Garcia worked for GirlsDoPorn, a sister company and well-known partner channel of Pornhub under MindGeek, which runs its base out of Montreal, QC. Girls Do Porn was a part of MindGeek’s partner programmes until October 2019, when the US Department of Justice effectively shut the porn producer down by arresting and charging its senior staff.

“MindGeek has zero tolerance for the posting of illegal content on its platforms, and has instituted a comprehensive, industry-leading trust and safety policy to identify and eradicate any illegal material from its community,” MindGeek said in a statement. In a statement, Pornhub parent company MindGeek said it had zero tolerance over the posting of illegal content on its platforms. Following the trials, and after Visa and Mastercard dropped services to the site, Pornhub revamped its safety protocols, deleted thousands of unverified videos, stopped allowing uploads from unverified users, and introduced new detection tools for moderating content. The women begged GirlsDoPorn and Pornhub to remove the videos as early as 2011. GirlsDoPorn was charged with trafficking in October 2019, but a year later, a simple search I conducted for “GDP” on Pornhub returned more than 300 videos and images of the victims. GirlsDoPorn’s victims were doxxed, harassed and humiliated, and they felt they had a full-time job they never asked for – trying to get the videos of their trafficking removed from the internet.
Because every society in the world agrees it is unacceptable and works with foreign police to shut down the operators. The same would not be true for normal porn sites that are ignoring a foreign age law. Clearly, Pornhub needs to overhaul the way its verified content works, too. Currently, all that verification requires is a photo of yourself with your username and the url ‘pornhub.com’ handwritten onto a piece of paper.
Sixty-two additional women are suing Pornhub’s parent company, claiming that the company failed to take down videos of their abuse as part of the sex trafficking operation Girls Do Porn. They’re suing the company and its sites for sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and human trafficking. According to an FBI press release, Girls Do Porn owners Michael Pratt, along with chief videographer Matthew Wolfe, administrative assistant Valerie Moser, and male performer Ruben “Andre” Garcia, were charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion. Garcia, Pratt, and Wolfe were also charged with sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. If found guilty, they face a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine. The founder of Girls Do Porn, a website that published videos of women who said they were coerced into making sex tapes, was arrested in Spain this week after being on the run for years from sex trafficking and child sex abuse images charges.
