A 12 yr old boy in Alabama was drugged & raped in 23 monetized videos uploaded to P*rnhub for profit. Today he is courageously suing P*rnhub using RICO & sex trafficking statutes that produce treble damages (3x the award). His jury trial could easily put P*rnhub out of business.

There have been 25 lawsuits filed against P*rnhub and its parent company Aylo/MindGeek since 2020 including multiple class actions representing tens of thousands of child victims. In June/July this year 13 child victims individually sued P*rnhub, its owners by name, Visa and the hedge funds that financed their criminal abuse. #Takedown #Traffickinghub

Omegle just shut down because it facilitated the sexual abuse of children who used the site to video chat with strangers. FYI: P*rnhub monetized & distributed unverified teen Omegle videos from unknown uploaders. (For one example, the video below was taken down after months of being monetized with ads on the site.) PH must also be held accountable. #Traffickinghub

A 12 yr old girl from Ontario Canada had her sexual abuse uploaded to P*rnhub where it was monetized, globally distributed for profit & made downloadable for 130 million visitors per day. Traumatized and desperate she contacted P*rnhub to demand they takedown her abuse videos. 5 days later she got an auto-reply and nothing else…ever. Her demand went ignored and her abuse remained on the site. She has now filed a $600 million dollar lawsuit against P*rnhub. A few days ago on Sept. 1 new evidence was uncovered in legal discovery that proves P*rnhub had only one person reviewing flagged videos only 5 days a week. They had a backlog of over 700,000 flagged videos and a policy to not even put a video in line for review until it had over 15 flags. The depositions also proved P*rnhub hid child sexual abuse they knew about from authorities for over 13 years. Not reporting known online child sexual abuse is a criminal offense in Canada that carries a 14 year prison sentence. In the documents published by the court P*rnhub employees are also on the record saying management did not want to be told about the abundance of child rape on the site and that management did not want them to enforce rules that were put on paper against criminal content. #Traffickinghub

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Damning admissions of a P*rnhub senior employee captured by @arden_young_ with Sound Investigations. C-suite execs were confronted by employees about loophole used by rapists and traffickers—they said they don’t care. #Traffickinghub

The London Sunday Times did an investigation into P*rnhub and found “dozens of illegal videos in minutes” including children as young as THREE YEARS OLD. 9 days ago evidence uncovered in legal discovery in a California child sex trafficking class action lawsuit against P*rnhub proved they hid child sexual abuse they knew about from authorities for over 13 years. From 2007-April 2020 after #Traffickinghub went viral exposing them they DID NOT REPORT any known child abuse to authorities. This was also confirmed by the two primary child protection agencies in the US and Canada during a 2021 parliamentary investigation in Canada. During this time evidence shows P*rnhub was also instructing users who found child abuse on the site NOT to report it to authorities and to send it to them instead. Imagine how many children could have been saved during those 13 years if P*rnhub wasn’t hiding the abuse from law enforcement? It’s a criminal offense in Canada, where P*rnhub is headquartered not to report known child sexual abuse material. The crime carries a 14 year prison sentence. #Traffickinghub

“For 8 years, I was raped and beaten and video taped by hundreds of men, women and even married couples. I never thought I would live to be 18…” Below is the account of a child victim of P*rnhub in her own words. We now have evidence from uncovered emails and legal depositions that P*rnhub owners & executives hid all child rape videos they knew about from authorities for 13 years and had policies in place to allow them to be uploaded again and again. Their policies as confirmed in emails by the CEO, would not put violent rapes like this one in line for review unless they were flagged over 15 times. They had one person reviewing flagged videos 5 days a week and a backlog of 706,000 flagged videos. Management made it clear to employees that they “didn’t want the rules [against criminal content] to be enforced.” Here is her story: “I am now 20 years old, and I am a sex and porn trafficking survivor. At the age of 9, my biological mother sold me to johns (people who buy sex) in exchange for drugs and for money. This happened until I was rescued at the age of 17 and placed into a safe house, where I was able to escape my bio mom and the people she worked with. For 8 years, I was raped and beaten and video taped by hundreds of men, women and even married couples. I never thought I would live to be 18 years old. I was hospitalized dozens of times, and one time I was forced to drink ammonia until I passed out and was raped for hours after that even though my mouth and throat were burning so bad. I have seen many other children raped in front of me even a 3 year old boy being raped by a man that was in his 40s. I was forced to have sex with other children, especially young girls. I still have nightmares and extreme PTSD from this. I am thankful that I have a family now who helps me through my flashbacks and my panics. But it’s not fair that my life is so hard now because I was forced into a life of sex and p*rnography as a child. I have had to get police involved on multiple occasions to try and get Redtube & P*rnhub [owned by MindGeek/Aylo] to remove videos of me being raped AS A MINOR. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult. Please, stop allowing people to make money off of the torture and coercion of children. It’s not fair.” Take note that she said she couldn’t get her videos down unless she got police involved. P*rnhub had set up a system where victims were thwarted from being able to take down their abuse all the while P*rnhub heavily monetized the abuse with ads and premium subscriptions to enrich themselves off of the suffering. They must be held accountable. #Traffickinghub

A 15 year old from Broward County Florida was missing for a year, she was found when her distraught mother was tipped off by a Pornhub user that he recognized her child on P*rnhub. The girl was found being raped in 58 videos on on an account called “Daddys_Slut.” Police matched the abuser’s face in the videos to 7-11 convenience store surveillance footage and identified 30 year old Christopher Johnson. When police rescued the girl from his apartment and arrested Johnson she said the videos were filmed inside the apartment and that he had impregnated her. The videos on P*rnhub were monetized with ads and sold as pay-to-download content where P*rnhub earned 35% of the sale of the videos. The girl’s life will never be the same. Here is a small sample of evidence we have about P*rnhub’s complicity: -The CEO/owner admitted in emails that they did not verify the age or consent of any of the millions of individuals in the homemade user generated sex videos on the site. - They ignored victims who were begging for their abuse videos to be taken down including underage children. -When they did respond to victims they would hassle them to prove they were underage or victims of rape in the videos. -Legal filings show they also ignored police demands to remove underage abuse on multiple occasions. -If videos were removed they would just get uploaded again and again. -They employed only 10 moderators per 8 hour shift for all of MindGeek/Aylo’s tube sites including P*rnhub, Redtube,YouPorn, Xtube and more. -Moderators were reprimanded if they watched less than 700 videos per shift and were expected to watch up to 1200 with the sound off. Some of the more experienced moderators would skip through over 2000 per shift. -Multiple whistleblower moderators have come out and said their job was not to remove content, it was to allow as much content to go through as possible. - Last week text messages that were uncovered in legal discovery were published by the court where MindGeek employees said “The problem is that management does not want the rules enforced.” -Text messages also show employees saying that management instructed them to stop sending notices of child sexual abuse on P*rnhub to management, presumably so they could claim ignorance. -The depositions published last week confirm that P*rnhub was hiding child sexual abuse they knew about from authorities and not reporting any child abuse for over 13 years until the #Traffickinghub movement went viral. Not reporting CSAM is a criminal offense in Canada where their headquarters is. - The depositions confirmed P*rnhub wasn’t employing any industry standard technology tools to detect or remove child sexual abuse for over 13 years. - Legal discovery proved Pornhub had only one person employed 5 days a week to review flagged videos. -They had a backlog of 706,000 flagged videos. -They had a policy not to even review a flagged video until it has over 15 flags. -A victim could flag their rape 15 times without ever triggering a review of the video. -The CEO called their flagging policies “good and reasonable” in emails. -The CEO admitted in emails it was obvious that they were trying to hide their policies from the credit card companies. All of this was intentional company policy and practice. These were all decisions made by the owners and executives. (The comments on the image below are real P*rnhub user comments)
