Pornhub Owner Settles Sex Trafficking Charge for $1.8M and Implements Independent Monitor

The owner of Pornhub, Aylo Holdings, has admitted to profiting from sex trafficking and has agreed to pay $1.8 million to the U.S. government and provide compensation to women whose videos were posted without their consent. As part of a deferred prosecution agreement, Aylo Holdings will also appoint an independent monitor for three years. The charges stem from Aylo's role in hosting videos and accepting payments from GirlsDoPorn, a now-defunct adult film production company involved in sex trafficking. The company has expressed regret and stated that it was unaware the consent forms provided by GirlsDoPorn were obtained through fraud and coercion.

Pornhub's Parent Company Settles Sex Trafficking Claims for $1.8M

Aylo Holdings, the parent company of Pornhub, has admitted in federal court to profiting from pornographic content that depicted sex trafficking victims. The company pleaded not guilty to engaging in unlawful monetary transactions involving sex trafficking proceeds but agreed to pay damages to women who were forced to appear in pornographic videos posted on its websites without their consent. As part of a deferred prosecution agreement, Aylo will pay a fine of over $1.8 million and be assigned a monitor to assess its content screening protocols. Aylo, previously known as MindGeek, operated websites that allowed third parties to distribute adult content, including videos from production companies GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys.
