A lawsuit filed by more victims of the sex trafficking operation claims that Pornhub’s moderation staff ignored reports of their abuse videos.
Sixty-one 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.
The complaint, filed on Tuesday, includes what it claims are internal emails obtained by the plaintiffs, represented by Holm Law Group, between Pornhub moderation staff. The emails allegedly show that Pornhub had only one moderator to review 700,000 potentially abusive videos, and that the company intentionally ignored repeated reports from victims in those videos.
The damages and restitution they seek amounts to more than $311,100,000. They demand a jury trial, and seek damages of $5 million per plaintiff, as well as restitution for all the money Aylo, the new name for Pornhub’s parent company, earned “marketing, selling and exploiting Plaintiffs’ videos in an amount that exceeds one hundred thousand dollars for each plaintiff.”
The plaintiffs are 61 more unnamed “Jane Doe” victims of Girls Do Porn, adding to the 60 that sued Pornhub in 2020 for similar claims.
Girls Do Porn was a federally-convicted sex trafficking ring that coerced young women into filming pornographic videos under the pretense of “modeling” gigs. In some cases, the women were violently abused. The operators told them that the videos would never appear online, so that their home communities wouldn’t find out, but they uploaded the footage to sites like Pornhub, where the videos went viral—and in many instances, destroyed their lives. Girls Do Porn was an official Pornhub content partner, with its videos frequently appearing on the front page, where they gathered millions of views.

Well, women are way more likely to sleep with you again and not shit talk you to their friends if you don’t ignore their discomfort during sex.
Sure, but evolution occurs over millennia, I don’t think it really mattered 5000 years ago when women were nearly slaves in most of the world.
Plus, it’s a system that overall hinders reproduction, while it’s great that it exists in a developed society wouldn’t it be a “dangerous” trait from an evolutionary standpoint? Are there any other animals with systems that dampen arousal? I’m really ignorant about all of this but it’s making me question my little knowledge of how nature works lol
Humans are pretty durable. If you’re having sex with a woman such that it makes her cry, you’re possibly doing damage to her reproductive system. Even 5k years ago, humans had a high investment reproductive strategy, and if you (as a historical man) injure a bunch of women during sex and leave, those women aren’t going to be in a great position to raise your child for fifteen years.
Also, while rape was absolutely more common historically, women have often had some say in things. If you look at Lysistrata, for example: the women decide to withhold sex until their husbands stop fighting. One suggests that their husbands will just have sex with them anyway, and the group reassures her that if she doesn’t enjoy it, he’ll lose interest. That’s pretty common for people- they want sex to be positive for both people involved.
Also the practical aspect of- a person you have sex with probably has access to you in a vulnerable position and you don’t want them to hate you.
Huh, that does make sense. The human body does have some flaws but it’s incredible how it developed these little things to work so well.
