A class action suit in Santa Ana, California against the parent company of the adult website Pornhub alleges the company has violated federal sex trafficking and child pornography laws by profiting from thousands of pornographic videos featuring persons under the age of 18, according to court papers obtained Monday.
The complaint includes public Reddit posts allegedly penned by Pornhub’s senior community manager stating that age verification would be a “disaster,” claiming it to be costly and that it would result in 50% reduction in traffic.
