The suit is the latest in a series of allegations against Pornhub and MindGeek. “The allegations in today’s complaint that Pornhub is a criminal enterprise that traffics women and is run like ‘The Sopranos’ are utterly absurd, completely reckless and categorically false,” Pornhub wrote.īowe said he is hopeful that the case will be “a watershed moment” for the online pornography industry, which “simply hasn’t been policed enough,” he said. While it “takes every complaint regarding the abuse of its platform seriously, including those of the plaintiffs in this case,” it denies the accusations about the company’s structure. In a statement to CNN Business, Pornhub said it is reviewing and investigating the complaint. “I joined the lawsuit because I seek justice for myself and the countless victims who don’t come forward.” “It is time for the companies and individuals who have profited off of nonconsensual and illegal content be held liable for their crime,” the plaintiff said.
One anonymous plaintiff on the call said that a video posted of her on Pornhub ruined her life. The complaint includes just one named defendant. The women accuse Pornhub of profiting from videos posted without their consent. “This is a case about rape, not pornography,” the complaint reads.
Michael Bowe, the lawyer representing the alleged victims, said on a conference call with reporters that the online pornography industry “has operated like an old-school red-light district of commerce where rules that do apply and should be applied haven’t been applied.” Among its various platforms, the company amasses 3.5 billion views per month, the lawyers said in a press release. MindGeek owns over 100 pornographic websites, production companies and brands including Pornhub, RedTube, Tube8 and YouPorn. The suit was filed by Brown Rudnick LLP on behalf of 34 alleged victims of sexual exploitation, including minors, rape and human trafficking, and is seeking damages and protection for plaintiffs. The civil complaint alleges that Pornhub parent company MindGeek, one of the largest online pornography companies, is a “classic criminal enterprise” with a business structure created to monetize nonconsensual sexual content - allegations Pornhub denies. Dozens of women sued Pornhub and its parent company Thursday, alleging that the site knowingly profited from videos depicting rape, child sexual exploitation, trafficking and other nonconsensual sexual content.
