A group of over 700 survivors of various forms of sexual exploitation and victims advocates is calling on Congress to launch a criminal investigation into Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek.Â
The joint letter submitted this week highlights how the porn industry has allowed and enabled sex crimes and abuse, including the facilitation of human trafficking, child sexual abuse and the violation of privacy rights. This has been allowed to go on with no legal repercussions, the group says, and the exploitation is ongoing as the websites continue to allow images of non-consensual sexual acts to be uploaded and remain online. Because the websites have monetized the content, it constitutes human trafficking and criminal sexual violence, the letter states.Â
