And it routinely fails to verify the consent of “performers,” many of whom are victims. The website is a well-known magnet for sex traffickers and abusers because the website has no age or ID verification requirement to upload a pornographic video.
These are just a few examples that prove Pornhub is complicit in and maybe even responsible for sexual abuse, rape, and trafficking. One young woman, Rose, has spoken out against Pornhub for allowing her rapists to upload videos titled “passed out teen” and “teen crying and getting slapped around” and refusing to take them down. This is a man who fled the United States after being charged with producing child pornography and trafficking minors. Pornhub also gave a platform to Michael Pratt, the federally indicted owner of GirlsDoPorn, who coerced and manipulated dozens of women into sending him sexually explicit content.
Just a few months ago, a missing 15-year-old girl was restored to her family after investigators tracked down her sex trafficker using the 58 videos he had uploaded to Pornhub. That “premium content” just so happens to include videos documenting the rape and sexual exploitation of minors.
