PornHub Owner MindGeek Is Being Sued For 80 Million By 40 Women Who Say The Site Profited From sex Trafficking Operation GirlsDoPorn

mother in law xxx - https://savorlondonmassage.co.uk/loc/tantric-massage-in-pimlico/. PornHub owner MindGeek is being sued for $80 million by 40 women who say the site profited from 'sex trafficking' operation GirlsDoPorn. 
In a complaint filed Tuesday in , the alleged victims say MindGeek 'knew it was partnering with and profiting from a sex trafficking venture for years'. 
A judge found in January that the owners and operators GirlsDoPorn must pay $12.7 million for lying to women about how their explicit videos would be distributed. 
The fresh lawsuit, filed this week, states: 'MindGeek also knew of the significant harassment and trauma GirlsDoPorn's victims were enduring by its continued publication of the victims' videos' but 'simply did not care'.

It claims the site 'continued to partner with GirlsDoPorn until it was no longer profitable'. 
PornHub, whose parent company is Montreal-based MindGeek, was this week forced to crack down on its unverified users following a New York Times report which said  it was profiting from videos of child sexual exploitation, rape and revenge porn. 
Even after the videos were flagged and removed, downloaded copies continued to circulate, often with severe personal consequences, the paper said. 
Pornhub, which attracted 42 billion views in 2019, said that it doesn't knowingly allow images of sexual abuse of children but was forced to remove more than 10 million unverified videos - the majority of its content - Monday.
Credit card companies Visa, Mastercard and Discover have since blocked their customers from making purchases on Pornhub.

These latest allegations, first reported by , now say its parent company knew GirlsDoPorn was 'using fraud, coercion, and intimidation as early as 2009, and definitely by fall 2016' but continued to work with them until 2019. 
'If MindGeek did not know GirlsDoPorn was a sex trafficking venture before October 2019, it should have known for a great number of reasons,' the lawsuit adds. 
'The most notable of which is that GirlsDoPorn's victims sent MindGeek complaints detailing the fraud and coercion they were subjected to by GirlsDoPorn.'
