Pornhub Sued for Publishing Videos of Sex Trafficking Victims

Pornhub took down the videos only after the FBI shut down the venture which produced the videos, the lawsuit says.

Sixty-two alleged victims of sex trafficking filed a lawsuit against Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, accusing the company of illegally publishing their videos while ignoring repeated takedown requests.

The Oct. 3 lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. It is related to Aylo’s use of videos obtained from a San Diego-based “sex trafficking venture” called “GirlsDoPorn.” The business was founded in 2007 and is now shut down, the lawsuit states.
